In Israel, the Netanyahu government is laying the groundwork to reject the outcome of the upcoming elections

The article discusses allegations that Israel's Netanyahu government is attempting to undermine judicial authority and prepare for potential election fraud by refusing to comply with a Supreme Court ruling. The court ordered the reinstatement of the Second Authority for Radio and Television, which was dissolved by Communications Minister Karhi in violation of the law. Netanyahu and his cabinet have announced they will ignore this decision, creating an institutional crisis. The piece suggests this move is part of a broader strategy to challenge future election results, claiming that if the government loses, it could argue the vote was rigged. The article also criticizes Channel 14, a pro-government media outlet, for producing skewed opinion polls that consistently show Netanyahu’s coalition winning, despite other independent polls indicating otherwise. This is seen as part of a coordinated effort to shape public perception ahead of upcoming elections.
