The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry addressed this week the continued crisis in Israel over the judicial reform and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's surgery to have a pacemaker implanted.

"The media are reporting that doctors used a pacemaker on the heart of the prime minister of the Zionist occupation regime," Nasser Kanaani said, adding "but it is clear that the crisis in the heart of the Zionist regime is deeper than the crisis in the heart of its prime minister."

During the Iranian regime's media blitz, a Tehran-based report inadvertently acknowledged Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, saying protestors "set up their tents in front of the Zionist Knesset building. The opponents have threatened to prevent the holding of the session of the Knesset on Sunday and Monday."
Far News said "the current unrest could lead to civil war."
Tehran wasn't the only enemy of Israel looking at the ongoing internal conflict in order to fan the flames. Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen were eager to point out the latest events of "Netanyahu's surgery" and several letters warning against the judicial reform, including letters stating soldiers' refusal to serve in the reserves, as "warnings of a military coup against him."
Netanyahu's surgery took place successfully at Sheba Tel-HaShomer Medical Center in Ramat Gan overnight Sunday, right before the Knesset convened for discussions before the second and third reading on the "reasonableness" bill.
The hospital reported that the prime minister's state of health was "good" and that he would remain under observation in the cardiology department. Despite his operation, Netanyahu, 73, pledged to be present at the vote and work to reach a broad consensus agreement.
