Prime Minister Netanyahu is accused of undermining state institutions over years to consolidate power, a process researchers call "democratic erosion." His son, Yair Netanyahu, stated that "Israeli Arabs" pose the greatest danger to Israel's survival after Iran's nuclear program. He claimed a country cannot survive if 20% of its population identifies with its enemies.

Prime Minister Netanyahu laid the groundwork for undermining the state's regime and institutions over years to consolidate his rule, researchers explain, describing this as "democratic erosion, what populist leaders do." Yair Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's son, expressed a clear message from the "election theft" campaign immediately after the results became clear. He wrote on the social media platform X that the greatest danger to Israel's survival, besides the Iranian nuclear threat, is "so-called 'Israeli Arabs.'" He asserted that "a country cannot survive long-term when 20% of its population identifies with its enemies and wants its destruction."
