Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warns that judicial systems are being manipulated to undermine right-wing leaders in both nations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Wednesday that judicial systems in both Israel and the United States are being “weaponized” by a “leftist Deep State” to subvert the will of right-leaning electorates. In a post on X, Netanyahu asserted that legal institutions are no longer operating with independence, but instead are being used to pursue political objectives targeting conservative leadership.
In America and in Israel, when a strong right wing leader wins an election, the leftist Deep State weaponizes the justice system to thwart the people's will. They won't win in either place!

“In America and in Israel, when a strong right-wing leader wins an election, the leftist Deep State weaponizes the justice system to thwart the people’s will,” Netanyahu said. “They won’t win in either place! We stand strong together.”
Netanyahu’s comments come amid ongoing legal challenges in Israel, including disputes with the nation’s Attorney General and efforts to dismiss the head of the Israel Security Agency, Ronen Bar, due to what Netanyahu described as a loss of confidence. These tensions mirror concerns expressed by Netanyahu’s political allies, who argue that Israel’s judicial and security institutions are being used to block the Prime Minister’s policy goals.
In support of Netanyahu’s statement, billionaire entrepreneur and X owner Elon Musk replied with a “100” emoji, signaling agreement with the Israeli leader’s claims. Musk has previously voiced concerns over political weaponization of government institutions and the erosion of free speech.

The broader context involves Israel’s Attorney General recently ruling that Netanyahu cannot remove Israel Security Agency Director Ronen Bar without approval from the Advisory Committee for Senior Appointments, effectively blocking Netanyahu’s attempt to make changes in top security leadership. The ruling underscores ongoing clashes between Netanyahu’s government and legal authorities, further fueling claims of institutional resistance to right-wing governance.
Netanyahu’s comparison between his legal struggles and those faced by President Donald Trump in the U.S. reflects a growing sentiment among conservative leaders who argue that unelected bureaucracies and legal entities are being used to challenge electoral mandates. The Prime Minister’s remarks align with a narrative that these actions represent a concerted effort to diminish the influence of right-wing leadership through judicial means rather than democratic processes.
