War between Israel and Hamas: pressure increases on Benjamin Netanyahu
War between Israel and Hamas: pressure increases on Benjamin Netanyahu
(franceinfo)
Benyamin Netanyahu finds himself under more and more pressure, his American ally has once again warned him. The streets and hostage families are also making themselves heard through mass rallies.
The telephone conversation took on the tone of a warning. Joe Biden asks Benjamin Netanyahu to spectacularly facilitate the arrival of humanitarian aid in Gaza. The Israeli Prime Minister has no choice; if he does not comply, American military aid to Israel could be affected. The pressure seems to be working, the Israelis announced immediate measures on the night of Friday April 4.
Early elections difficult to envisage
However, Americans are wary, and will remain attentive to the results. Even Donald Trump, Benyamin Netanyahu’s greatest Republican ally, is distancing himself, and believes that Israel is losing the communications war. These pressures on the Prime Minister also come from within. Repeated demonstrations, clashes with the police… Israelis are demanding early elections. If they still support the war effort, they want the Prime Minister to leave. But as long as the war continues, early elections are difficult to envisage.
