Why Netanyahu's political future is as fragile as the ceasefire
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be flying high.
Israel’s enemies across the region have been badly weakened during 15 months of war. Israeli hostages have begun to come home from captivity in Gaza, and Netanyahu’s good friend, Donald Trump, is back in the White House.
But Netanyahu may have little time to enjoy his improving fortunes.
His hard-line coalition partners have threatened to topple the government if he does not resume Israel’s war in Gaza when a six-week ceasefire with Hamas expires. That could leave Netanyahu torn between his erstwhile allies at home and a U.S. president who says he wants to end the region’s wars.

tells me everything I need to know about him 
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:
Mr. Smotrich, when one belligerent doesn't have F16s, air-defense weapons, tanks, satellites, or world-class hospitals while the other side does, its not called war, it's called ethnic cleansing.
Bezalel Smotrich stated that Israel should occupy Gaza and “encourage” half of the Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinians to emigrate within two years.
In the West Bank, the IDF is conducting "counter terrorism operations" and Settlers are going on rampages against Palestinian homeowners and farmers. Israeli forces have killed 34 people, including six children so far this year. This is not new. Abuse against Palestinians in the West Bank has been going on for decades, regardless of which party was in the White House.
Do you wonder if this poor guy who threw stones at his oppressors is alive today? (Photo: 7 Oct 2015, Ramallah / AFP / ABBAS MOMANI)
So, where should these Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank go? Will they go to Jordan-- which already hosts 2.2 million Palestinian refugees? Islamophobic America? And will they be compensated for their lost or destroyed homes?
MAGAts don't want Muslims in the US and Trumpf is closing the door on non-white immigration. Would Democrats have accepted them? There are Democrats on DU that blame the 1.34% Muslim-American population for supposedly not supporting Kamala in 2024. (Even though Trumpf won only 21% of the Arab vote, Kamala 20%, and Stein 59%).
Hasn't the hardworking American taxpayer-- who doesn't have universal healthcare like his Israeli counterpart-- had enough of this?
