Commenting on the current division of the Israeli settler community over the judicial overhaul that the Israeli government seeks to pass, Ram Ben Barak, a member of the Israeli Knesset and former deputy director of the Mossad, considered that Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has harmed "Israel" more than all its enemies, Israeli media reported.

The Israeli news website Maariv cited Ben Barak as saying on a radio show, "We are not on a cliff, we are already in the abyss, we are falling apart," in reference to the Israeli entity.

Pointing fingers at Netanyahu's extremist coalition, Ben Barak said, "This is an extremist, mafia messianic gang that took over [Israel]."

He continued, "It takes Netanyahu by the nose and leads him to crazy places, disintegrates our army, disintegrates our society, disintegrates our economy."

"There is a destructive government here that decided to change what existed 75 years ago. It decided to carry out this coup as they did in countries around the world," Ben Barak indicated.

The MK underlined that "this delusional prime minister [Netanyahu] has done us more harm than any of our enemies in recent years. He needs to understand that he went too far following the extremists."

"It can't go like this, if they don't come to their senses" there won't be "Israel", Ben Barak stressed.

On Saturday, Israeli media reported that Israeli settlers protested for the 32nd week against the judicial overhaul across occupied Palestinian territories.
