The ongoing conflict in Gaza has once again pushed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken into the region to negotiate a ceasefire deal. However, the intricate political landscape in Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu walking a tightrope, has made it difficult to reach a resolution. The recent resignation of opposition leader Benny Gantz from the war cabinet has shifted the dynamics, leaving the US without a key contact in the Israeli government. The extremist views of Jewish nationalists within the coalition, who oppose any ceasefire until Hamas is completely eliminated, further complicate the situation. President Joe Biden’s call for a ceasefire and his proposed deal outlining gradual steps towards peace face opposition from hardliners within Israel. Despite the pressing need to end the conflict, the lack of commitment from both Hamas and Israel, coupled with internal political struggles, continues to hinder progress towards a resolution. As international pressure mounts and casualties rise, the delicate balance of power in the region hangs in the balance, with high stakes for all involved parties.
