The United States intelligence services considered this Monday that the "viability as leader" of Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu
is "in danger."
This appears in a report delivered this Monday to Congress by the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
, which coordinates the 18 intelligence agencies of the United States.
"Netanyahu's viability as a leader,
as well as his governing coalition
made up of far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties that have pursued inflexible policies on Palestinian and security issues, could be in danger," reads the report, which is published annually. .
Likewise, US intelligence believes that, within Israel
, "distrust" in Netanyahu's ability to govern has "deepened and widened"
and there are likely to be "large protests demanding his resignation and new elections."
"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
, when the Palestinian group
Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis
and took 240 hostages.
Since then, Israeli attacks on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip have left
31,112 dead
and 72,760 injured.
