A pattern has emerged of a multifaceted campaign against PM Netanyahu by the Israeli left, the judiciary, and the U.S. government.

Here are 5 key examples:

1. US Financial Interference to Oust Netanyahu

During the Obama administration, the US State Department meddled in Israeli politics by funneling money to various organizations and nonprofits specifically to try and oust Netanyahu from power. This was a deliberate effort to overthrow the government because Netanyahu represented a “defense and security” stance that conflicted with US-led regional strategies.

2. The “Chickenshit” Diplomatic Slander

A senior official in the Obama administration publicly insulted Netanyahu by calling him “chickenshit”. This was a calculated attempt to publicly humiliate and delegitimize the Prime Minister, demonstrating the lowly level of political discourse used by the White House to undermine his leadership.

3. Legal and Bureaucratic “Stand-Down” on October 7

Some analysts and retired military officials allege that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and the Military Advocate General blocked Netanyahu from ordering an immediate Air Force response on the morning of October 7, 2023. The AG reportedly informed Netanyahu that he lacked the authority to change military protocols or declare war until the full cabinet convened, ensuring military leaders followed her legal directives rather than the Prime Minister’s orders during the critical first hours.

4. The “Qatargate” and Domestic Witch Hunt

Netanyahu has characterized several high-profile corruption investigations, such as “Qatargate” — a probe into his aides receiving alleged payments from Qatar — as a witch hunt orchestrated by a leftist deep state. These investigations, launched by Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar at the direction of the Attorney General, are viewed as tactical distractions intended to shift blame for intelligence failures onto the Prime Minister’s Office.

5. Biden Administration Diplomatic Blackmail

The Biden administration is accused of blackmailing Netanyahu into unfavorable ceasefire deals by threatening to withhold weapons or allow UN Security Council resolutions against Israel to pass without a veto. Sources further allege the administration has tied Israel’s hands by pressuring it to limit its response to Hamas and Hezbollah as a means of forcing Israel to concede to a new Iran nuclear deal.
