Israel is accused of not being a state for all its citizens, as 20 per cent of the population of indigenous Palestinians face systematic discrimination, according to Al Jazeera.

But what is happening now is that Netanyahu and his coalition have managed to split the Jewish citizens of Israel between the loyalists and the opposition, who feel their institutions that have worked so far to protect the Zionist ideal are under threat.

The former head of the Supreme Court in Israel has accused Netanyahu and his allies of pushing Israel into civil war, Al Jazeera noted. “This is a man who attended the International Court of Justice on behalf of Israel as a judge during the hearings where Israel was accused of genocide.”

As “someone who has fiercely defended Israel”, the former judge is extremely worried what is happening is polarising the state so much that clashes are possible, the report added.
