Why it matters:
The stark warning reflects mounting instability inside the occupied territories, where political polarization, judicial turmoil, and dissent over the Israeli genocide in Gaza have ignited fears of internal collapse—even among senior military figures.
The big picture:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial judicial reforms, concessions to ultra-Orthodox and far-right factions, and divisive Gaza genocidal policies have deepened internal rifts.
Regular mass protests against Netanyahu’s leadership continue to rock the occupied territories, with opposition politicians mounting fierce attacks on his administration.
What he's saying:
General Brick stated that hatred in Israel "now poses a more serious threat to Israel’s existence than foreign enemies.”
The cracks and hatred within the Zionist settler community are pushing the regime to the edge of civil war, Brick warned, adding that this internal disintegration is far more dangerous than Iran, Hezbollah, or Hamas.
Key points:
Netanyahu is under fire for pushing reforms viewed as weakening the judiciary’s independence.
Tensions with the Israeli regime’s domestic intelligence agency, Shin Bet (Shabak), have escalated, culminating in the firing of its chief.
Netanyahu is reportedly seeking to remove the Israeli regime’s attorney general, further deepening institutional distrust.
Daily protests and nationwide strikes continue, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction across the Zionist settler community.
