Criticism of the Israeli Government
In association with the 2023 Israeli judicial reform the Likud-led far-right coalition were compared to Germany in the 1930s by some journalists and historians in Israel including by Daniel Blatman,[5] an Israeli historian, specializing in history of the Holocaust, [1] and head of the Institute for Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[6] When interviewed by Ayelett Suhani for Haaretz, Blatman said "Israel's government has neo-Nazi ministers. It really does recall Germany in 1933".[5] His remarks drew some international attention from long-standing critics of Israel.[7] However, it should be noted he was referring specifically to the authoritarian aspects of 1930s Germany, he did not draw direct connections to the ghettos or the Holocaust.[5]
