Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing political turmoil as two far-right allies have threatened to bring down the government if a proposed cease-fire with Hamas in Gaza does not completely eliminate the group. While President Biden has endorsed the cease-fire plan, Netanyahu expressed openness to a partial 42-day pause in fighting but insisted that the war would not end until Hamas is defeated. The far-right members of Netanyahu's coalition are adamant about not accepting anything less than the destruction of Hamas and have threatened to withdraw from the government if their conditions are not met. The political pressures on Netanyahu have intensified, with a centrist member of the government also issuing ultimatums regarding the handling of the Gaza situation. Alongside this, the focus remains on the safety and release of hostages held by Hamas.
