Coup Plot: Biden's Intel Agencies ‘Expect' Protests to Topple Netanyahu for ‘Moderate' Leader

[Breitbart] U.S. intelligence agencies are claiming that they "expect" protests to bring down the Israeli government and replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been an obstacle to President Joe Biden’s plans for the Middle East.
Who, me worry? Not a chance.
The claim emerged in the latest "Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community," and was published by both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times Monday evening, suggesting a coordinated leak to the media.

Ya think? They’re shaping their battlefield, paved as it is by their support of the Israeli protesters.

The assessment says:

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has publicly stated his opposition to postwar diplomacy with the Palestinian Authority (PA) toward territorial compromise.

What move has the PA made toward any compromise whatsoever?

Netanyahu’s viability as leader as well as his governing coalition of far-right and ultraorthodox parties that pursued hardline policies on Palestinian and security issues may be in jeopardy. Distrust of Netanyahu’s ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public from its already high levels before the war, and we expect large protests demanding his resignation and new elections. A different, more moderate government is a possibility.

Possible, yes. Probable, not so much.

Netanyahu was elected to his current term in office in November 2022 with a right-wing coalition that had the largest majority of any Israeli government in decades. His approval dropped during nationwide protests over his proposed judicial reforms, and in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 terror attacks, but recent polls suggest that his support has recovered, as he has led Israel to the edge of victory over Hamas while resisting international pressure.

I guess the traditional news pigeons haven’t yet arrived in Washington, DC to bring them the intelligence reports. Ah well, hopefully some there are getting ahead by reading Rantburg.

#3 If you don't think Hungary's Prime Minister Orban and Argentine Pres. Milei are also on the list, you may be mistaken.

#4 Link to Annual Threat Assessment

Netanyahu, Orban and Argentine Pres. Milei... all men who seem to care more about their country than "international opinion". I would add Putin and Trump to the list but we all know those guys are just awful because reasons.
