In association with the 2023 Israeli judicial reform the Likud-led far-right coalition were compared to Germany in the 1930s by some journalists and historians in Israel including by Daniel Blatman,^[5] an Israeli historian, specializing in history of the Holocaust, ^[1] and head of the Institute for Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.^[6] When interviewed by Ayelett Suhani for Haaretz, Blatman said "Israel's government has neo-Nazi ministers. It really does recall Germany in 1933".^[5] His remarks drew some international attention from long-standing critics of Israel.^[7] However, he was referring specifically to the authoritarian aspects of 1930s Germany, he did not draw direct connections to the ghettos or the Holocaust.^[5]

He is listed in the signatures on the open letter "STATEMENT OF GENOCIDE SCHOLARS ON ISRAEL-PALESTINE" from 21 May 2021.^[8]

In 2016 he criticised Benjamin Netanyahu for referring to removal of Israeli settlers from the West Bank as "ethnic cleansing".^[9] This triggered a discourse with Benny Morris,^[10] in which Blatman asserted that ethic cleansing had been done by Israel in 1948.^[11]
