Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing escalating pressure both domestically and internationally as ceasefire talks with Hamas remain deadlocked. The political turmoil comes amid increasing frustration over the prolonged conflict in Gaza.
Internal Divisions Deepen
Netanyahu's coalition government is showing signs of strain, with key allies publicly criticising his handling of negotiations. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has reportedly urged the Prime Minister to reconsider his stance, warning that further delays could harm Israel's strategic interests.
International Pressure Mounts
The United States and other Western allies have intensified calls for an immediate ceasefire, with growing concerns about civilian casualties and humanitarian conditions in Gaza. Diplomatic sources suggest Washington may reconsider its support if progress isn't made soon.
Public Opinion Shifts
Recent polls indicate declining support for Netanyahu's approach among Israeli citizens, with many questioning the prolonged military campaign's effectiveness. Protesters have taken to the streets in Tel Aviv, demanding swifter action to secure hostage releases.
What Comes Next?
Analysts suggest Netanyahu faces a critical juncture - either compromise on ceasefire terms or risk further isolation. The coming days could prove decisive for both the Gaza conflict and the Prime Minister's political future.
