Why don't they just get the CIA to install a new leader?
It's not like they haven't done that before.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Because Israel isn't a random Central American country on the verge of democracy. They have oil.
Israel is a glorified US military base wrapped in a religious flag. Criminal charges didn't jeopardize their leaders viability, Genocide did not hurt his viability, not listening to the US hurts his viability. If I were Jewish I'd be furious my religion was being used to launder a military base.
Israel is a long ways away from the Caribbean and central America, where the CIA had the most success with that stuff, thanks to the Monroe doctrine.
I don't think it's that easy to get what you want in the Middle East.
Not the US but the UK did it in Iran.
I’m pretty sure Israel is in the Caribbean.
Isn’t Captain Jack Sparrow Israeli?
we're currently coordinating with Mossad to get permission
That’s a road I’d very much rather we left in the rear view mirror, if I’m honest.
They would have to stop doing it to leave it in the rear view.
Remember when Trump tried a coup in Venezuela and they clearly dusted off a 1980’s coup plan in the smartphone era? They kept trying to stage things for TV cameras and random people were posting videos of them on social media like, “What are these guys filming?” And then they just pretended it worked and were like, “Juan Guaidó is the president now.” as if you could just pretend a coup worked.
That was some of the least competent shit I’ve ever seen. We shouldn’t be involved in coups at all so it was morally repugnant but on top of that, everyone involved in the planning and execution of the coup attempt should be required to wear clown makeup and big floppy clown shoes for the rest of their lives.
Yeah it was pretty insane and dismaying and absurd to watch that episode unfold…
To successfully do that, it takes a couple years of groundwork. And it's harder in a parliamentary system, because you don't really pick a leader, you pick parties, and the party picks a leader from their own members.
Not that the CIA would want to. I'd bet they share a lot of intelligence about common adversaries.
it needs to be worse than in jeopardy.
it needs to be completely nonviable.
it needs to be fucking extinct.
It’s not in jeopardy because he’s committing genocide however.
So even if he goes, they won’t stop.
His position was in dire straights before this most recent instance of genocide perpetrated by Israel. He is not immune to the mounting internal contradictions there between liberals and orthodox there. He is not immune to the corruption charges against him that conveniently took a back seat for this genocidal campaign. Great job, US intelligence.
This guy will never go to jail
Why not just take the guy out with one of those neato sword drones. Set an example.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The US intelligence community assesses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “viability as a leader” to be “in jeopardy,” according to its annual report on the national security threats facing the United States that was presented to Congress on Monday.
“Distrust of Netanyahu’s ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public from its already high levels before the war, and we expect large protests demanding his resignation and new elections,” according to the report.
Public polling has also suggested that many Israelis question whether Netanyahu’s crushing military offensive in response now into its fifth month, which has leveled Gaza and killed tens of thousands of people, is the best way to recover the hostages.
The normally security-heavy forum strayed into distinctly political grounds on Monday, with Republican lawmakers on the committee repeatedly pressing intelligence leaders on security issues related the US southern border.
Risch fired back, referring to Warner and another Democratic senator who criticized the Republican line of questioning: “I’ve been on this committee for 15 years and we do a really good job until politics do creep in — and that’s what’s happened here this afternoon with the last two speakers.”
Trade between the two has been increasing since the start of the war — reaching more than $220 billion in 2023, surpassing their record total 2022 volume by 15 percent — and in exchange, Russia is offering China cheaper energy prices and greater access to the Arctic, according to the report.
