"Israeli War Cabinet Rifts: Challenges and Opposition in Handling Gaza Conflict"

Sharp divisions within Israel over the path forward in the Gaza Strip are increasingly coming out into the open, with street protests, dissension in the war cabinet, and challenges facing the government. The emergency governing coalition is under intense and competing pressures as the war drags on, with right-wing politicians urging more aggressive military action, families of hostages urging concessions for their return, and outrage across the globe over civilian casualties. Additionally, the U.S. and Israel are at odds over the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state, and President Biden has pressed Prime Minister Netanyahu to agree to its creation. Meanwhile, the Israeli military's offensive in Gaza has failed to secure the hostages' freedom, leading to growing frustration and protests within Israel.
