The former attorney general and legal advisor to the Israeli government Avichai Mandelblit disclosed on Sunday that he believes that the current security situation in the Israeli occupation entity has just started, warning that there will be "bloodshed".

According to Israeli media, Mandelblit said, "We are only at the beginning. Things will deteriorate further, and there will be bloodshed inside Israel."

The Israeli Channel 13 correspondent asked Mandelblit about his opinion on the issues the Israeli government is going through, to which he replied, "Both sides of the government will not concede, so the matter will end in acts of violence."

And upon being asked if he really thinks this is the case, the former top jurist said, "Yes, I think so."

Israeli occupation President: Powder keg is about to explode

Israeli President Isaac Herzog warned on Sunday that the situation in the entity is about to explode.

"We are not in a political debate anymore. We are on the brink of a social and constitutional collapse. The powder keg is about to explode," Herzog said.

He noted that he acknowledged that some of the judicial reforms are valid, but the current plan of Netanyahu's government “raises deep concerns for potential negative implications on Israel’s democratic foundations."

Herzog also warned that recent intelligence reports showed that "Israel's" enemies are closely monitoring the situation in the occupation and asked, “Is there a bigger warning sign than this?".

'Justice' Minister slams Supreme Court 

Earlier today, the Minister of "Justice" Yariv Levin attacked the Supreme Court after it considered a petition calling for the removal of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under a procedure that stipulates his inability to carry out his duties.

On Friday, the court granted the judicial advisor to the government Gali Baharav-Miara and Netanyahu one month to offer an explanation as to why he [Netanyahu] was not removed from office.

Some background

Demonstrations continued across the occupation entity for the sixth week in a row against Netanyahu's government, the last of which was on Saturday evening, when tens of thousands of settlers took the streets to protest the government's judiciary reforms.

The proposed reform package, which would limit the authority of the High Court of Justice and give the cabinet control over the selection of new judges, is set to be announced tomorrow Monday when the first vote on the legislation will also be held.

The reform plan was described by the Israeli occupation opposition as a "coup", while Netanyahu said in its defense that it "aims to restore balance between the authorities."

US President makes unusual remarks on Netanyahu's plan

US President Joe Biden indirectly expressed his concerns regarding the judicial reform plan introduced by the Israeli government.

According to a report published by the New York Times on Sunday, Biden stressed the need to build "consensus" over critical changes.

”The genius of American democracy and Israeli democracy is that they are both built on strong institutions, on checks and balances, on an independent judiciary. Building consensus for fundamental changes is really important to ensure that the people buy into them so they can be sustained," the President told the newspaper.

Former security minister: Protests will not stop

For his part, the former occupation security minister and chief of staff Moshe Yaalon told Israeli Channel 12 that "there is no intention to stop the legislation that Netanyahu wants, so we will not stop the protests."

Yaalon added, "We will not allow, very clearly, to transform Israel from democracy to dictatorship, and since the process of legislation will not stop, the protest will continue."

Last August, Yaalon, among five other former chiefs of staff, considered that the disintegration of the Israeli internal social cohesion poses a threat to “Israel” greater than Iran turning into a nuclear threshold state.

It's noteworthy that, according to the protest organizers, around one million settlers are expected to show up for Monday's demonstrations, including tens of thousands that will gather in front of the Israeli Knesset and Supreme Court.

Several companies have also announced that they are allowing their workers to take a day off to participate in the strike.
