“Hamas must leave the Gaza Strip”declared Benjamin Netanyahu before the UN on Friday September 27. The Israeli Prime Minister also assures that operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah will continue. These military operations are also widely supported in Israel, as evidenced by a poll published in the press and which gives the far-right coalition in the lead if elections were held today, reflecting increasing popularity for the first time. for a year.
In Tel Aviv, “Finally Netanyahu is doing something”breathes a lady annoyed by the stagnation of the conflict for a year. Next to her, Merav agrees, recalling that 60,000 Israelis have been living outside their homes for the past year.“The situation in the North is unbearable, we must take action. We have tried to focus on Gaza and ignored the North for a year, as a result the fire is coming more and more to central Israel. It’s distressing and we can no longer ignore it.”
Many welcome the government’s defensive strategy, the attack on pagers and walkie-talkies, but be careful not to make any confusion, Warren warns. “People are very confusing whether or not to support the Netanyahu government and the right to protection.”
“I don’t necessarily support the Netanyahu government, on the other hand, today’s right to protection is something essential for me.”
Moreover, if Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu’s party, has never been so high in the polls for a year, Israelis would prefer the return of one of his predecessors to power, Naftali Bennett. The fact remains that the refusal of a truce reiterated again on Friday September 27 at the UN is a consensus, politically, “for now we are patient”whispers a passerby. The priority remains the war.
