The Biden administration is reportedly working on a plan to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s elected government, involving collaboration with the United Nations and left-leaning activists in Israel.
The information, detailed by columnist Caroline Glick in the Jewish News Syndicate, references text messages from activist Ami Dror originally disclosed by Israel’s Channel 14 news outlet.
Glick wrote:
Based on what he referred to as a conversation with his contacts in the White House, Dror set out in granular detail the White House’s four-part plan to overthrow the government. The components involved actions on the ground in Gaza; the use of the U.N. Security Council; extortion of government ministers; and mass protests.
…
In his words, “Government ministers are receiving messages from ‘American friends’ that they will be accused of war crimes. Under our radar, the U.S. and the E.U. have framed the hunger in northern Gaza as a war crime. This is an excuse for seizing control over the territory from Israel (parachuting food continuously, including by the German military, and building a port), but the words “potential indictment” for all members of the government of destruction is the clincher. How does it work? There are many members of the government that don’t want to lose their physical or economic freedom. The immediate targets are [billionaire Economy Minister Nir] Barkat (by freezing assets and turning the millionaire into a wanted man) [and] the Haredi parties … they and their communities worldwide have many properties. … Ministers in the government will become potential fugitives if they don’t enable the formation of a government without Kahanists. … Don’t be surprised if [Shas party leader Aryeh] Deri and [Agudat Israel head Minister Yitzhak] Goldknopf bring down the government soon. The Hareidi draft is just an excuse—their Hareidi cronies in America don’t want to get in trouble with Uncle Sam.”
…
“And the most important thing? Us, and President Biden’s request from us: The American method of dealing with misbehaving states, includes the destruction (economic and legal) that is centered on the leadership on the one hand, and driving a wedge between “the nation,” and “the leadership.” In our case … for this to work—the nation of Israel must show (in the streets!) that it is fighting the leadership. … The American administration needs to see the nation in Israel fighting the government of Israel.”
The text messages were initially reported on March 17, shortly after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for new elections in Israel to remove Netanyahu.
President Joe Biden supported Schumer’s stance, and a few days later, the Biden administration allowed a United Nations Security Council resolution to pass, endorsing Hamas’s conditions of ceasefire before hostage releases and isolating Israel.
Prior to this, Israeli opposition figure Benny Gantz, a key rival to Netanyahu who serves alongside him in a national unity government, visited the White House.
Gantz was expected to undermine the Netanyahu government further but was criticized by the administration. Following these events, Gantz, who initially opposed Schumer’s call for new elections, changed his position on April 3.
Gantz’s shift can be attributed to several factors: escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza resulting in the accidental death of aid workers; internal disagreements within the Netanyahu government regarding military conscription of ultra-Orthodox men; and a four-day protest organized by the Israeli left outside Netanyahu’s office.
There were also intelligence reports suggesting potential protests against Netanyahu before Gantz’s visit. Despite no significant antigovernment protests at that time due to ongoing war and hostage situation in Gaza, signs of a possible “color revolution” in Israel emerged.
This would be the second such attempt following last year’s protests related to judicial reform involving US intervention.
Additionally, Vice President Kamala Harris attempted to differentiate between the Israeli government and its people early on as part of these developments.
Meanwhile, Israel remains threatened by Iranian-backed terrorists along all its borders.
