An Israeli cabinet minister accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition of “failing miserably” amid the Gaza war on Wednesday, prompting a rebuke from Netanyahu’s Likud party as political divisions deepen.
“Anyone who says that we’ll disband a few battalions in Rafah and then return the hostages is sowing a false illusion,“ he said. “It will take three to five years to stabilize and then many more years to build an alternative to Hamas.” In a statement on Telegram, the Likud party said Eisenkot and Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s main challenger, were looking for excuses to quit the coalition at the height the war.Wednesday’s exchange was the latest spat in the coalition, raising questions about how long Israel’s wartime government could survive as Netanyahu straddles conflicting demands from coalition members and faces global scrutiny over Israel’s war conduct, including from top ally the United States.
