בכירים לשעבר במערכת הביטחון לטראמפ: שים קץ ל"אלימות המתנחלים"

הערכה

Former Israeli security officials, including ex-IDF, Mossad, Shin Bet, and foreign service leaders, are directly petitioning President Trump ahead of his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. They frame settler violence in the West Bank as a threat potentially exceeding the October 7 attacks, urging US intervention to halt it. The petition signals an extraordinary breach of internal Israeli consensus on security matters, with officials publicly seeking American leverage against their own government's policy. The key question is how this open appeal will affect Trump's posture in his talks with Netanyahu.
