Well if Hollywood did get out more, they might notice what is going on in Iran right now.

If there's one thing the mullahs are currently praying for, its military intervention from Israel/US.

How close is Iran to actually developing nuclear weapons?

Bibi didn't get to where he is without knowing where the red lines are - and annexing anything beyond the Green Line that isn't the Golan Heights or East Jerusalem would be crossing one for many Western governments. Even with Trump in the Oval, he never did that, and he's got Biden/Harris until at least January 2025.

In any event, Russian-Israeli relations aren't great now either.

If Israel were to part company with the US, China would be its only likely major ally.

Also, Religious Zionism boycotted a cabinet meeting over the removal of a settlement at Or Haim.

Has Bibi actually backed down here? Or is he just biding his time while preparing to strip the court's authority?

Somewhat of a back down. He's not willing to openly defy the courts.

There was a shooting at a Jerusalem synagogue. 5 killed, ten victims total including injured. That's not including the shooter who was "neutralized".

Seven dead now. This has just handed the Israelis a casus belli for another round of attacks on Gaza.

He also can't sit around and do nothing - especially as the current government campaigned strongly on security.

Is this level of political intervention normal for an Israeli president?

Any IDF soldier can detain people in the occupied territories for up to 3 hours based on their own decision? That's absolutely bonkers levels of military law being applied to civilians.

I'd be curious to know what the British rules in Northern Ireland were in that regard.

Pretty sure no head of government anywhere would accept one of his ministers calling into question a key government policy publicly.

Only if they waived collective responsibility, as happened with both Europe referendums here.

He'd probably need legislation - and you'd then have to fund the thing, procure equipment, train personnel etc.

Didn't the fall out from the Yom Kippur War result in gains for the right. I think Israeli politics works different especially when there was a massive security failure (which Netenahyu prides him self)

Meir's party won the next elections, but her coalition partners lost seats and she couldn't form a government.
