Israeli PM Netanyahu Delays Defense Minister's Dismissal Amid Security Concerns.

The Research Department of the Military Intelligence Directorate has warned that Israel's strategic position has worsened due to the government's efforts to weaken the judiciary. The report highlights the danger of the nation's enemies identifying a weakness in the internal divisions caused by the overhaul. The report also notes the danger of any potential damage to relations with the United States, particularly in light of the growing threat from Iran. The intelligence report was apparently drawn up even before the public war of words, later moderated, between Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden.
