Great unrest in Israel- 37 Israeli Air Force F -15 pilots against Netanyahu

A group of 37 Israeli Air Force pilots, contemporary fighters in the Israeli Air Force, publicly announced that it will be far from fighter education, protesting the proposed judicial reform of the Israeli government.

They themselves said that they could not perform their duties as long as they live in the "dictatorship of Netanyahu".

It is an "extremely serious blow to the reputation of the elected Prime Minister of Israel, which can have an extremely serious impact on the reputation of the Israeli government and influence the country's national interests," the Israeli newspaper Times of Israel said.

Almost all of the backs belongs to the Squadron of Israeli Air Force fighter aircraft said they would not appear in one of their scheduled training, protesting the government's plan to radically limit the power of the judiciary.

Of the 40 reserves of the 69th Squadron of the Israeli Air Force, 37 said they were boycotting Wednesday's exercises.

Their announcement was first published by the Haaretz Yom Yomi newspaper.

The Israeli Squadron, known as Hammers, handles F-15i fighter aircraft from the Hatzeri base in southern Israel.

It is recalled that in 2007, this fate had attacked the Syrian nuclear reactor, on a mission known to most people as a Bostan business.

Israeli pilots informed the Israeli Air Force Commander Tomer Bar and the Commander of the Squadron for their intention not to be presented for training this week, but said they would be presented for service if required for operational missions.

It is emphasized in the Israeli defense system, the pilots are trained very often, and the loss of some training can affect their operational readiness.

"On Wednesday, March 8th, we will devote our time to dialogue and thought for the sake of democracy and the unity of the people, so we will not refer to the reserve on this day, with the exception of business activity. During the rest of the week we will be presented [for service] as scheduled, "the pilots said in the letter cited by the Israeli 12 News.

According to Channel 12, the Israeli backed pilots, who continue to perform an active duty, expressed their concern that the harsh behavior of the new government could prosecute them by global institutions such as the International Criminal Court.

Israel has long argued against such investigations, indicating the power and independence of its judicial system, which is responsible for investigating cases of offenses by the Israeli forces.

However, critics of the Legal Review of the Netanyahu government are warning that efforts to limit the power of the Supreme Court will deprive its legality on the international stage.

About 50 pilots attended the meeting on Friday, and there was a growing number of Israeli reserves from many units that warned that they would also abstain from their duties, if the government coalition continued its plans to bind the judicial system. They claim to weaken democracy in the country.
