The Israeli military, which has battled foes on all of the country's borders, is now facing a challenge from within: nationalist politicians who are increasingly criticizing the army and bickering with Israel's security establishment. Angry reactions from within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition to the manslaughter conviction this week of an Israeli soldier who fatally shot an already wounded Palestinian underscored the growing rift. Netanyahu and other senior Cabinet ministers quickly called for the soldier to be pardoned, in effect undercutting the authority of the military court that convicted the young man.( Heidi Levine, Pool via AP, File).
