In another sign of Israeli division and internal strife, the Israeli occupation's Foreign Minister rejected his own ministry's report that evidently unmasked the "erosion in Israel’s international standing," Israeli media reported.

The classified document, whose existence was first reported by the Walla news website, highlighted that "Israel's" foreign policy has deteriorated since the current Netanyahu administration's formation.

The newspaper further assessed the effect of the Netanyahu coalition’s policies – most notably its judicial overhaul push – and how the Netanyahu government and its aims are perceived around the world, Haaretz reported, citing officials close to the matter.

But on Thursday, the Israeli occupation Foreign Ministry issued an unusual statement in which it rejected the findings and stressed that the report's assessment "does not express the agreed-upon position of all bodies in the ministry and does not accurately reflect the situation."

Even without the report's conclusions, there is international dissatisfaction about the occupation's administration, Haaretz pointed out.

The news website noted that several countries regarded as being sympathetic to the Israeli occupation have recently publicly opposed the occupation's policy.

Amid tension over the Israeli government's plans to revamp the judiciary, US President Joe Biden said in late March that he will not be inviting Netanyahu to the White House in the "near term".

In addition, Israeli occupation envoy to Washington, Mike Herzog, was summoned for a reprimand over the Knesset's approval of a bill that will allow Israeli settlers to return to areas across the West Bank that were previously evacuated as part of the 2005 Israeli-known Disengagement Law.

Moreover, the European Union had also slammed Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's statements on the need to "wipe out" the Palestinian town of Huwara in the occupied West Bank.

For months now, upheaval and chaos took the Israeli occupation entity by storm. Violent clashes erupted between the Israeli opposition and police, as Israeli settlers continue to protest against the occupation government’s planned judicial overhaul.

Calls for civil disobedience and riots have been met with stern warnings from both sides, as political rifts are widening and warning against the outbreak of a "civil war".
