Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is facing increasing opposition as the war in Gaza drags on… After disbanding his war cabinet following the high-profile resignation of centrist former general Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s mission to destroy Hamas has been publicly questioned by chief army spokesman Daniel Hagari. During a TV interview, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) rep said “Hamas is an idea – whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong.” It reveals the deepening rift in Israel’s halls of power. The conflict is also fracturing other ties, with Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz warning a decision on an all-out war with Lebanon’s militant group Hezbollah is coming soon after ongoing cross-border attacks. In return, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is threatening Cyprus over allegations it’s allowing Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises.
