Arab Social Media Buzzes Over Mossad, Intel Chiefs’ Court Visit

Arab users on social media are speculating about a possible regional crisis after Israel’s intelligence chiefs made an unusual appearance in court to argue for a delay in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial. “Why did the head of Mossad and the head of Military Intelligence go to court instead of the war room?” asked one Arabic-language account. Others were more direct: “A new catastrophe is on the way,” wrote several users, reacting to the rare judicial intervention. The online chatter follows a day of heightened tension in Israel, with reports of sensitive security developments prompting top military brass to personally request a pause in legal proceedings.
