This Is Israel’s Most Dire Week Since the Yom Kippur War
On Sunday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sacked Yoav Gallant, Israel’s defense minister. Twenty-four hours earlier, Gallant had defied his boss and urged the Knesset, the country’s parliament, to pause its efforts to degrade the judiciary. For the first time since 1973, the Jewish State roils amid existential crises.
“The State of Israel is in its greatest danger since the Yom Kippur War,” Naftali Bennett, a past prime minister, tweeted. “It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong... We are brothers.”
Or not.
