🇮🇱⚡️- Coupled with grumbling on the left with talks of ousting Netanyahu and now the right talking about overthrowing the government if the proposal is accepted, Netanyahu is in an impossible situation where he must either cater to the far-right in his government and risk angering the left-leaning opposition, Mossad, and IDF or appealing to the left and sidelining his own government.

🇮🇱 - In admin's opinion, Netanyahu will likely look to a new front to whip the far-right and opposition left back into shape. With the northern front heating up (literally and metaphorically) we can expect an invasion of Lebanon to be nearly imminent.
