How Chuck Schumer’s Speech Backfired

Mike Doran and Gadi Taub discuss the ever more explicit attempts by the Democrats to remove Netanyahu from office

The ever more explicit attempts by the Democrats to remove Netanyahu from office repeatedly fail. There’s a reason for that. Israelis don’t like to feel that their bigger stronger ally is trying to dictate to them who will govern their country. They are even less hospitable to the idea that the U.S. will try to force them into the two-state-solution track. But Mike thinks the ongoing effort to oust Netanyahu may actually succeed.

Meanwhile, Herzi Halevi, the IDF chief of staff, completes a controversial armywide round of appointments. Many see this as an attempt to save his own skin, since the appointees seem to subscribe to the same groupthink that got us Oct. 7, and may therefore be less critical of Halevi’s colossal failure on that fateful Shabbat.
