Why Netanyahu's political future is as fragile as the ceasefire [View all]

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.
