The son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared a video showing an IDF reservist threatening a mutiny if the government did not seek “complete victory” over Hamas. The IDF has launched a criminal investigation into the video as it violates IDF orders and values. The masked alleged soldier demanded the defense minister’s resignation and insisted on victory over any Palestinian authority.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office condemned the mutiny video, rejecting any refusal to serve. Another video surfaced of an Israeli soldier burning a Quran in Gaza, prompting an investigation by the IDF. Netanyahu’s son, Yair, is described as a right-wing agitator on social media and has faced controversy for influencing government decisions.
The International Criminal Court chief prosecutor requested arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Israel’s defense minister for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the offensive in Gaza. The prosecutor also issued arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders. The IDF has been contacted for comment on the situation.
