“In Israel there’s not a democracy, but a deep state,’ PM said to claim

“In Israel there’s not a democracy, but a deep state,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told confidants in recent months, according to a Haaretz report

The remarks have been made by the premier in the context of his upcoming trial in three corruption cases. Netanyahu is reportedly convinced that the justice system is intent on bringing him down.

“They want to see me sitting in jail,” Haaretz quotes the prime minister as having said of officials in the justice system.
