The deal to bring an end to the fighting in Gaza is on the brink of collapsing — and there is no clear immediate alternative agreement that could be put forward in its place, according to two U.S. and two Israeli officials.
Both Israel and Hamas also disagree over Israel’s presence in both the Philadelphi Corridor, a stretch of land on the Egypt-Gaza border, and in a main throughway that leads to northern Gaza. Israel has said it wants to maintain its position in both places to ensure Hamas cannot smuggle goods in through Egypt and reposition its strongholds.
How about Netanyahu is in custody on corruption charges and someone who’s literal survival doesn’t depend on perpetual genocide takes the helm. Fucking tired of these old assholes ruining whays left of the world for their worthless survival. Nethanyahu needs to be eliminated, exterminated even I daresay
Even from a completely cynical point of view, I’m amazed that there’s been no serious attempt from within the Israeli state/establishment to remove him, by any means necessary.
Israel has spent most of its existence trying to build/maintain legitimacy among Western liberals, as well as internationally. They absolutely need this for their state to be a viable project in the long term.
This genocide and everything else about that man and his government has bulldozed right through that. It’s basically impossible for any remotely normal person to be able to defend what’s going on. I never thought I’d see the day when people like lifelong Tories I know IRL feel sympathy towards Palestinians and such disgust towards the stage of Israel.
And he literally allowed Hamas to receive funding. Its bullshit, he contrived this entire outcome
Well the government is quite popular. According to the opinion polls in Wikipedia the government coalition is polling above 40% and it seems to be in an uptrend.
A 40% approval rating is not popular under any circumstances. A wartime government being underwater is damning.
Perhaps. That said they’re gaining.
Polls show over 70% of Israelis want Netanyahu out.
