US intelligence sees "Netanyahu's viability as leader" in danger. US intelligence believes that, within Israel, "distrust" in Netanyahu's ability to govern has "deepened and widened" "It is possible that a different, more moderate government will be formed," add the intelligence agencies.

Netanyahu has faced harsh domestic criticism for failing to foresee or prevent the October 7 terrorist attack. Since then, Israeli attacks on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip have left 31,112 dead and 72,760 injured.
