There is currently no progress in the rescue of hostages from Hamas. Therefore, the anger of the citizens of Israel is towards the Prime Minister of the country, Benjamin Netanyahu. On Friday (January 26), more than 40 former national security officials, renowned scientists and prominent business leaders called for his removal.
As a result, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in fear of losing power within the judgment of the international court.
The officials have written to Israel’s president and parliament speaker citing Netanyahu as a threat to Israel’s “existence”.
The letter was sent to Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Thursday (25 January) and Speaker of the Legislative Knesset Amir Ohana on Friday (26 January).
Among the signatories of the letter are four former directors of Israel’s foreign and internal security services, two former chiefs of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and three Nobel laureates.
In the letter, they claim that Netanyahu’s controversial attempt to introduce amendments to reduce the powers of Israel’s judiciary has weakened the security system. The letter mentions that the October 7 attack took place as a result of this.
We believe Netanyahu created the conditions that led to the brutal massacre of over 1,200 Israelis and others, the injury of over 4,500 and the kidnapping of over 230 people, the letter said. More than 130 of them are still imprisoned by Hamas. The blood of these casualties is on Netanyahu’s hands.
