Israel's War Cabinet Divided as Trust in Netanyahu Wanes Amid Gaza Conflict

Cracks have emerged within the Israeli political establishment as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced backlash for blaming his army and intelligence chiefs for not informing him about warnings of Hamas's assault on Israel. The incident highlighted a widening rift within the political and military establishment, questioning Netanyahu's leadership and his ability to prioritize national security over his own interests. The war cabinet, which includes former senior military officers, is divided, and there is a lack of trust in Netanyahu among government officials. While there is unity against Hamas, support for Netanyahu's government has declined, with trust in the government at a 20-year low. Netanyahu's move to include senior military members in the government could serve his political interests and deflect responsibility for potential military failures.
