Israeli reservists can maintain their weapons at home, and carrying assault rifles in public is common in Israel.\n\n\n \n\nIsraeli lecturer charged over plot to kill hundreds of Palestinians and force mass expulsions\n Read More \u00bb\n\n\nAnother factor that could drive instability in Israel is rising settler violence in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with food inflation and the soaring cost of military spending, the report said.\n\nDrop Site said that the CIA report was produced by the Red Cell, a semi-independent unit within the agency specifically designed to propose contrarian ideas and challenge basic assumptions and biases.\n\nThe report honed in on the pressures building ahead of an election that experts say may not produce a conclusive outcome. Polling in Israel suggests that neither Netanyahu nor the blocs opposed to him may reach the 61 seats required to form a government in parliament.\n\nThe authors also \u201cgamed out\u201d how these pressures could spark civil conflict. One precipitating event could be if foreign technology and AI companies limit their investments and hiring in Israel. Another would be if regional governments decided not to normalise or continue relations with Israel.\n\nThe article appeared to focus only on fissures among Israelis and did not take into account the tensions among Palestinian citizens of Israel, who account for 20 percent of the population and face discrimination.\n\nOn Friday, a Palestinian politician with Israeli citizenship dropped out of the upcoming parliamentary election after Israel\u2019s Supreme Court suggested it would disqualify him from running. The court overturned bans on four other political parties of Palestinian citizens of Israel.\n\n \n \n \n Middle East Eye delivers independent and unrivalled coverage and analysis of the Middle East, North Africa and beyond.
