Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett recently discussed the ongoing situation in Israel, shedding light on the dynamics within the government and the challenges faced in reaching a resolution.
According to reports, there seems to be a divide within the Israeli government regarding the proposed deal, with some members of the War Cabinet supporting it while others, such as Ben Gavir and Bezalel Smotrich, are hesitant. This internal conflict raises questions about Prime Minister Netanyahu's stance on the matter.
The situation is further complicated by the actions of Hamas, particularly their holding of hostages. The leader of Hamas, Yigis Anwar, is believed to be employing a strategy of prolonging the conflict to exhaust Israel and align with Iran's interests. This tactic has hindered the progress towards a viable agreement.
To address these challenges, there are calls for increased pressure on Hamas, specifically in the region of Rafah. Despite previous operations in Rafah, it appears that further action is necessary to expedite the resolution of the conflict. The delay in decisive actions has been attributed to both internal governmental issues and external influences, notably from the American administration.
Former Prime Minister Bennett emphasized the urgency of concluding the conflict swiftly, highlighting missed opportunities for earlier intervention in Rafah. The prolonged nature of the war is deemed detrimental, and there is a consensus on the need for a more efficient and effective approach to bring about a resolution.
