Biden’s Ceasefire Plan Puts Netanyahu in a Difficult Position

President Biden’s truce proposal for Gaza has created a challenging situation for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Facing increasing diplomatic isolation, Netanyahu must choose between maintaining his hawkish government and securing a deal to bring hostages home. Hard-right members of his coalition have threatened to leave if he agrees to a ceasefire before Hamas is defeated, while centrist leaders are prepared to withdraw their support if there isn’t a clear resolution.
