Netanyahu’s days in office likely ‘numbered by length’ of Gaza war: Analyst
American University’s William Lawrence, speaking to Al Jazeera from Washington, DC, said that as the truce extension talks continue, there is an evident divide between Israel and the US on a return to war in Gaza.
“With Netanyahu publicly disagreeing with so much of what the Americans are saying are their red lines [on Gaza], Biden is going to be asserting himself diplomatically,” Lawrence said.
“There is no question in my mind that a few members of the war cabinet would like to torpedo any deal, and would like to have torpedoed it from the beginning,” he said.
“There is also no question in my mind that Netanyahu knows that his political days may be numbered by the length of this conflict,” he continued.
“He wants the war to start again as soon as possible, and to go for as long as possible,” he added.
