Netanyahu’s dismissal of the Minister of Defence, Yoav Gallant, would have created an underground crisis within the army that could lead to a coup de main against Netanyahu, who is led by the former member of the Israeli emergency government, Benny Gantz, the recently dismissed Minister of Defence, Galant and the Army Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi.

Netanyahu and the Banality of Evil

Netanyahu would have trivialized evil because of the total absence of morality in his actions that leads him to commit crimes against humanity without thinking about their consequences and without discerning the good or bad of their acts. Thus, the use by Israel of systematic torture, the genocide of the Gazan population and other evil practices would not be considered by Netanyahu from their effects or their final outcome because the deities have chosen him to “the high mission of eliminating Hamas from the face of the earth and building the Great Israel,” a dystopian situation that has led the Jewish civil rights activist and Holocaust survivor, Israel Shakak to affirm “The Nazis made me fear being a Jew and the Israelis make me ashamed of being a Jew.”

Coup de Main Against Netanyahu?

Following the decision of the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Galant accused of “crimes against humanity,” Netanyahu is aware that once the asymmetric war against Hamas has ended, he risks an international criminal prosecution. 

Consequently, after razing Gaza, Netanyahu decided to invade South Lebanon to displace the 400,000 inhabitants of Southern Lebanon across the Litani River, hoping to gain time until Donald Trump’s victory in the certainty that he will be able to count on his blessings to exonerate him from all guilt before the International Criminal Court.

However, the Biden administration holds Netanyahu directly responsible for the massive loss of votes in the recent US elections, reflected in a very high abstention among the Muslim population and the left wing of the Democratic Party, what would have facilitated the comfortable victory of Trump. Thus, Joe Biden, in an interview published by Time magazine, admitted that

“Netanyahu, would be prolonging the war for political reasons and to stay in power at the head of a complex coalition government.”

This —coupled with the obvious anger of the Israeli military leadership after the manifest failure of the Israeli army to engage in a ground offensive on Lebanon, the pressing need to enlist another 20,000 troops due to the countless casualties suffered against Hizbullah and the refusal of reservists to join the ranks— would be the ideal breeding ground for a coup de main led by former Israeli Emergency Government member Benny Gantz and the recently dismissed Minister of Defence, Galant and the Army Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi.

This coup should materialize before President Trump is inaugurated in the month of January and would count on the support of high-ranking officials of the Israeli Army and the blessings of the Biden Administration and AIPAC. And after ending the invasion of Gaza and the hostages held by Hamas, this would lead to the early calling of new elections with the declared objective of forming a Government of National Unity of Benny Gantz with Yair Lapid and whose primary task will be to rewrite the Oslo Accords, which make possible the peaceful coexistence of two peoples in two states.

While Netanyahu, a nefarious politician who attempted an autocratic coup d’état to subsequently establish a presidential regime, could face criminal prosecution where he will be accused of negligence and crimes against human rights, what could mean a criminal conviction and his definitive exit from the Israeli political scene.
