If he stops, he's finished. Possibly even dead. He'll be thrown out of office and arrested before he hits the ground.
So long as he's prime minister, they can't touch him. And so long as he's engaged in a war, he can't be ousted.
He SHOULD fall on his sword, but...
The laws should be changed once he is gone as that's so open to abuse and we're seeing it right now. If a country can allow that then it's not a good country to begin with as it has flaws, a lot of them.
You're just welcoming a warlord really.
I would suggest "he should fall into a trash compactor," but it turns out that the legal fines for shoving inappropriate garbage into a trash compactor are even heftier than the ones for industrial meat grinders.
I'm not sure that many Israelis want to live in a pariah state for Bibi's sake. If he blows up a ceasefire deal, he's probably cooked, anyway. He's been delaying the inevitable.
Yeah, even being prime minster doesn't save him. First, the war cabinet absolutely falls apart, and then the mob comes. He's either going to prison in Israel or in the Hague. He's just delaying one or the other.
If the war cabinet doesn't fall apart over Netanyahu killing the ceasefire (if he does, in fact, succeed in killing it), Benny Gantz should be facing some pretty pointed questions about his continued support.
Except that he's protected by most of those in the government. If they really thought he was a threat who should be thrown out and arrested, a war wouldn’t stop them. We can’t pretend Israel’s actions is a one person problem. They need a massive overhaul or else the same violent cycle will continue.
Some truth to that but it’s factional. Not that all the other factions are that great. But all of them have to play the factional gamesmanship; new elections changing the landscape might moderate the landscape a little.
That's why he's pushing the violence. So long as the fighting continues, he's the leader and nobody can touch him.
And if he kills all the Palestinians, or drives them out of Israel/Gaza/territories, then he's won.
If he nukes Iran and starts WW3, he's won.
We're caught between a shit and a fart.
So many antisemites in Tel Aviv! Who knew? And are they 'pro-Hamas' too? It seems that, at least on university campuses and social media sites those two ALWAYS go together!
He doesn't want a negotiated peace. He wants to finish what he started: to kill every member of Hamas. And if he has to kill everyone in Gaza to do so, that's what he wants to do. It is his final solution
Genuine question:
If thousands of Israelis are fed up with Netanyahu — both before October 7, & perhaps even more now — why can’t they gather the votes in the Knesset needed to hold new elections?
With few exceptions plenty of them don’t care and are only turning out because of the hostage crisis, and because they see a direct threat to their own rights. They’ve mostly been standing by for the slow destruction of Gaza for decades, or this wouldn’t be the situation now.
Right now, in Tel Aviv, HUGE anti-war protests.
It would seem that MANY Israelis are tired of Bibi's shit.
AND THEY CAN DO NOTHING while hostilities are in play, ( no vote of no-confidence is allowed during hostilities).
