Israel divided over Netanyahu ending Gaza ceasefire

Al Jazeera  

Far-right joy over renewed bombing of Gaza, but captives’ families fear for their loved ones. Former United States President Joe Biden suggested as much in an interview in June, saying there was “every reason” for people to draw the conclusion that Netanyahu was prolonging the war for political reasons. War will ‘bury’ the captives But continuing the war and unilaterally ending the two-month ceasefire puts Netanyahu and his government at odds with an important constituency: the families of Israeli captives held in Gaza. “Things are very different now,” Mitchell Barak – an Israeli pollster and former political aide to several senior Israeli political figures, including Netanyahu – told Al Jazeera, “We have a new administration that says, ‘Release the hostages now – or else. “Trump has been clear: ‘Finish the job.’ The US will back anything that Israel chooses to do to achieve that end,” he said.
