Yair Netanyahu to release book on 'deep state' war against his father

By · Via Middle East Eye · Published by Everything Blog

In short

Written by the prime minister's activist son, the upcoming book claims that Israeli state bodies, foreign-funded NGOs, and national media have functioned as domestic saboteurs attempting to remove Benjamin Netanyahu from office. The author has previously mounted similar defenses online, having recently alleged without evidence that the October 27 parliamentary vote was rigged through foreign bribery. Backing the publication is RatPac Press, co-founded by Australian businessman James Packer, who is a central witness in the premier's criminal trial. The volume aims to reframe the prime minister's legal vulnerabilities and electoral hurdles as part of an institutional conspiracy.

"[Yair Netanyahu] has always been a proud Jew and a devoted Zionist," says the publicity blurb. "But when the institutions that govern Israel – its prosecutors, judges, intelligence bureaucracy, military command, media networks, and foreign-funded NGOs – turned their attention toward removing his father from power, he found himself inside a Kafkaesque system that few citizens ever see."

The book will be a "report from within the Matrix", a reference to a term popularised by misogynist influencer Andrew Tate and used by conspiracy theorists generally to describe a system of illusions that dominates mainstream society.
