Source close to Netanyahu accuses US of funding rallies against judicial overhaul

[IsraelTimes] PM’s son shares Breitbart’s claim that State Department funded protest group; bigwig says AG ’irredeemably audacious’ for freezing transfer of Tel Aviv police chief
The protests are reportedly oganized by the anti-democracy Movement for Quality Government, Antifa’s branch in Israel for driving Bibi Netanyahu and his supporters out of politics. It was previously known as V15 (for Victory 15, the last election Bibi won against the will of a Democratic president), both names being fig leaves for its true identity as the Israeli branch of the Washington, DC-based OneVoice Movement founded by Progressive multi-billionaire Daniel Lubetzky in 2002 as an international “grassroots” front of his PeaceWorks Foundation to drive Israel to fulfill his vision for the region without bothering to become a citizen. The US State Department gave V15 millions of dollars under President Obama, and more in recent years.
A senior government official traveling in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s entourage on his weekend trip to Italia claimed on Friday without offering evidence that the mass protests against the government’s controversial judicial overhaul were partially funded by the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
"This protest is financed and organized with millions of dollars," he said.

"We are following what is happening. This is a very high-level organization. There is an organized center from which all the demonstrators branch out in an orderly manner," the bigwig said.

"Who finances the transportation, the flags, the stages? It’s clear to us," he said.

Another member of the premier’s entourage confirmed that the bigwig was referring to the United States.

A similar claim was made last week by pro-Netanyahu pundit Yakov Bardugo on Channel 14 news, an outlet closely allied with the premier.

And on Saturday evening, Netanyahu’s son Yair shared an article from the right-wing website Breitbart claiming the US State Department funded one of the groups involved in the protests.

The legislative plans by the right-religious government, Israel’s most hardline to date, have sparked mass public protests in Israel for over two months, as well as fierce backlash from opposition politicians and dire warnings from economists, business leaders, legal experts and security officials.

The statements by the top official and others close to the premier are a sign of the difficulties Netanyahu is facing in his government’s relations with the US, with the official response seemingly being to lash out at Washington.

Over two months since entering office, Netanyahu has yet to receive an invitation to meet with US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
at the White House for "a number of reasons," according to a senior Israeli official who briefed news hounds during the premier’s visit to Rome.

The official did not elaborate as to what those reasons are. However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
he said that the question as to why Netanyahu hasn’t received an invitation would be better addressed to the White House.

A US official and a senior Middle Eastern diplomat told The Times of Israel last month that plans by the US and the UAE to host Netanyahu have been placed on the back burner, with the two sources explaining that the respective governments are frustrated with the new government’s policies vis-à-vis the Paleostinians and waiting to see what unfolds on the ground during the Moslem holy month of Ramadan, which begins later in March. The Ramadan period has often added another layer of tension between Israelis and Paleostinians.

During Friday’s briefing, the senior Israeli official blamed the deal reached by Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
and Iran
...They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
to reestablish diplomatic relations on the combined weakness of the previous Israeli government and the Biden administration.

"There was a feeling of American and Israeli weakness, so Saudi Arabia turned to other channels," said the senior Israeli official, despite the fact that media reports indicated negotiations between Riyadh and Tehran began in April 2021, when Netanyahu was still prime minister.

The remarks represented another clear shot by the Prime Minister’s Office at Biden, who entered office pledging to reenter the Iran nuclear deal but has gradually moved away from that effort over the past year amid Tehran’s military cooperation with Russia and the ongoing protests in the Islamic Theocratic Republic against the regime there.

AG IS ’IRREDEEMABLY AUDACIOUS’
When the senior political figure was asked in Italia where he stood on the disagreement between National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara over the frozen transfer of Tel Aviv district police commander Amichai Eshed, the official said that he had something to say, but would wait until he was back in Israel to say it.

An individual close to Netanyahu said: "The attorney general is irredeemably audacious — no one chose her to run the country. She cannot in any way go against the decision of a cabinet minister and make a round of appointments. This attorney general shows why there is so much anger at the legal system. What’s happening here doesn’t make sense, and it can’t continue."

The ouster of Eshed was announced on Thursday evening by Ben Gvir, who said that at the recommendation of Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, Eshed would be moved to head the police’s Training Department.

Both Shabtai and Ben Gvir have insisted the removal of Eshed had been planned in advance.

But Ben Gvir has also said his decision to make the move now was tied to the commander’s handling of the mass protests in Tel Aviv over the past 10 weeks, where police have largely shown patience with demonstrators even when they have blocked roads and the major Ayalon Highway.

Eshed’s removal was immediately frozen by the attorney general, who said there were concerns that it was carried out at Ben Gvir’s instigation, in a breach of the minister’s authorized behavior.
