Right-wing coup in Israel?

Israeli Labor parlimentarian, Major General in the reserves and former head of Mossad Danny Yatom thinks so. Haaretz reports:

There is a danger of a military coup in Israel if the trend of right-wing figures refusing to serve in the military widens "and more and more religious Jews that answer to rabbis enter the General Staff," Labor MK Danny Yatom warned on Friday.

Yatom, a major general in the reserves and a former head of the Mossad, made his remarks at a discussion of Tzvi Emitai's book "Code Blue" at the Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv. The book describes a situation in which the radical right gains control of the Israel Defense Forces and overthrows the government.

Yatom was asked if he believed a coup could happen in Israel. He answered that up until a year ago, the possibility did not occupy his attention, but that recent developments forced him to conclude that the danger exists.

Another reserve Major General, Danny Rothschild, expressed similar views according to the Haaretz report.
