Trump and Netanyahu: A Shared Playbook in the Face of Judicial Resistance**

Both Trump and Netanyahu are focusing on dismantling judicial systems and challenging their countries' respective national security establishments while facing opposition. Their actions suggest a unified front against perceived threats from the judiciary and security services.**

In a striking display of political alliance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed on Wednesday his solidarity with U.S. President Trump in their respective struggles against the judiciary and national security institutions. Netanyahu's social media post echoed Trump’s rhetoric, stating, “In America and in Israel, when a strong right wing leader wins an election, the leftist Deep State weaponizes the justice system to thwart the people’s will. They won’t win in either place! We stand strong together.”

Both leaders appear to be implementing a strategy aimed at diminishing judicial powers, eradicating oversight that limits their authority, and discrediting national security professionals who oppose them. As tensions escalate, Trump has tailored U.S. foreign policy to align with Netanyahu's objectives, allowing for military actions, including renewed airstrikes in Gaza, solidifying their partnership against mutual adversaries.

This past week in Washington, Trump faced backlash, advocating for the impeachment of a federal judge who sought information about his mass deportation actions, and terminating officials within independent agencies. Conversely, in Jerusalem, Netanyahu's administration dismissed Ronen Bar, who had led investigations into allegations against Netanyahu’s aides regarding classified information leaks. Despite firm denials from Netanyahu’s circle, these actions signal a larger pattern of both leaders taking drastic measures to counterbalance judicial checks and maintain power amidst escalating scrutiny.
