Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing accusations from opponents of politicizing key state institutions ahead of elections due by October. In a single week, Netanyahu appointed loyalists to three major positions: Roman Gofman as Mossad director, his personal lawyer Michael Rabello as state comptroller, and another ally to a senior role. Critics warn these appointments undermine institutional independence and democratic checks and balances.
