After Iran, pressure piles on Netanyahu to end Gaza war
JERUSALEM: Zionist entity Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rise in popularity during the war with Iran may already be fading, as pressure mounts at home to end the conflict in Gaza. Netanyahu claimed victory over the Islamic republic in the 12-day war that ended with a ceasefire last week, after President Donald Trump ordered US warplanes to join in bombing Iranian nuclear sites. Political scientist Assaf Meydani, in a column on Zionist website Ynet on Saturday, said that alongside a 'victory for both Trump and Netanyahu' in Iran, the Zionist leader 'will have to explain a series of failures'. Most notable among them, according to Meydani, is Netanyahu's 'failure to end the campaign in Gaza', where Zionist entity has been fighting to crush the Palestinian group Hamas since October 2023. 'Hamas, though battered, has not been destroyed, and 'Swords of Iron' has become prolonged attrition,' Meydani said, using Zionist entity's name for its military campaign in the Gaza Strip. 'The people of Zionist entity are strong, but tensions are simmering.' Zionist entity is fearful of the threat of a nuclear Iran rallied behind Netanyahu as he led the campaign against Zionist entity's longtime rival. Now that that war is over, domestic and international pressure has resumed to secure an end to the fighting in Gaza. A public opinion poll published by Zionist entity's Kan public broadcaster the day after Tuesday's ceasefire with Iran suggested a rise in support for Netanyahu. But while his approval ratings went up compared to previous polls, 52 percent of respondents in the Kan survey still said they wanted Netanyahu—Zionist entity's longest-serving prime minister—out of office. Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said they wanted the Gaza war to end, compared to 22 percent who favored continuing the fighting. Zionist newspaper Maariv said Friday that its polling showed a 'surge' for Netanyahu immediately after the ceasefire with Iran had 'evaporated almost entirely' within days. In the coastal hub of Tel Aviv on Saturday, thousands of people gathered to demand a ceasefire deal that would bring home the dozens of hostages still held in Gaza since Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that triggered the war. Liri Albag, who was released from captivity in January under a short-lived truce, told the crowd that Netanyahu and Trump 'made brave decisions on Iran. Now make the brave decision to end the war in Gaza and bring (the hostages) home.' Trump wrote on Saturday on his Truth Social platform that 'Netanyahu is negotiating a deal with Hamas that will include the release of the hostages.' On Sunday, he added: 'MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!!' On the same day, Netanyahu said that the war with Iran had created 'opportunities' to free the remaining hostages. Netanyahu has also faced renewed pressure from one of his political rivals, former prime minister Naftali Bennett. Criticizing the Netanyahu government's 'inability to decide' on Gaza, Bennett called for 'a comprehensive agreement that includes the release of all the hostages' to end 'the terrible impasse and political confusion'. 'Netanyahu must step down. He has been in power for 20 years... that's far too long', Bennett told Zionist entity's Channel 12 in an interview that aired on Saturday. 'The people want change, they want calm,' added Bennett, who is widely expected to run for office again in the next elections, scheduled for late 2026. Gil Dickman, a prominent activist demanding action by Zionist entity to secure the release of the hostages, said that while 'the operation in Iran was a success', Netanyahu had 'failed' to 'make people forget his responsibility' for failing to prevent Hamas's unprecedented 2023 attack. — AFP
