Tel Aviv, Israel (AP) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday reprimanded a top cabinet minister who came to Washington for interaction with US officials, according to an Israeli official, indicated a widespread cracks under the leadership of the country nearly five months in his war with Hamas.
After Hamas’s October attack, the visit of a centralist political rival Beni Gantz, a centralist who joined Netanyahu’s War Cabinet, comes as friction between the US and Netanyahu and to reduce the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza, what should be seen like the post -wise plan for Enclave.
An official of Netanyahu’s far-flung Likud Party said Gantz’s visit was planned without an Authority from the Israeli leader. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Netanyahu spoke with Gantz and told him that there are only one Prime Minister in the country.
Gantz is scheduled to meet US vice -president Kamla Harris and National Security Advisor Jake Sulivan on Monday and on Tuesday, with state secretary Antony Blinkan. On the condition of anonymity, another Israeli official said that the purpose of Gantz’s visit is to strengthen relations with the US, to support the Israeli war and to push for the release of Israel’s hostages.
In Egypt, the broker had a conversation for the ceasefire before the Muslim Holy month started next week from the Holy month of Ramadan.
Israel did not send a delegation as it is waiting for Hamas’s answer on two questions, according to a third Israeli government official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Israeli media said that the government is waiting to know which hostages are alive and how many Palestinian prisoners Hamas want in exchange for each.
The three Israeli officials spoke anonymously as they were not authorized to discuss disputes with the media.
The US began aid in Gaza on Saturday, killing a Israeli-accepted convoy after dozens of Palestinians to be killed last week after running to grab food. Aidrops prevented a support distribution system from fighting in Israeli sanctions, logical issues and Gaza. Assistance officials say Aerdrops are much less effective than truck delivery.
American priorities in the region are rapidly disrupted by Netanyahu’s cabinet, which is dominated by ultraviolets. Sometimes the more medium party of gantz acts as a counterweight.
According to most referendum surveys, Netanyahu’s popularity war has begun. According to Israeli officials, several Israel blamed him to fail to cross on 7 October on 7 October. Hamas was raided from across the border on 7 October, killing 1,200 people, killing most of the citizens, and taking around 250 people hostage in Gaza.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, over 30,000 Palestinians have died since the war began, two-thirds of them are women and children, who do not distinguish between citizens and fighters. About 80% of the population of 2.3 million has fled from their homes, and United Nations agencies say hundreds of thousands are on the verge of famine.
Netanyahu’s Israelis say that his decision is fired with political views, an accusation that he denies. Criticism is particularly focused on plans for post -wise Gaza. Netanyahu wants Israel to maintain open security control over Gaza, in which Palestinians run civil matters.
The United States wants to see progress on the creation of a Palestinian state, imagining a revived Palestinian leadership, which runs Gaza, which is eventually with an eye towards the state.
That vision has been opposed by Netanyahu and hard-liners in his government. Another top cabinet official of Gantz’s party has questioned the handling of war and strategy to free the hostages.
The Netanyahu government, Israel’s most conservative and religious, also, has been amazed by a time frame ordered by a court for a new bill to broaden the military list of Ultra-Crucial Jews. Many of them are exempted from military service so that they can conduct religious studies. Hundreds of Israeli soldiers have been killed since October 7, and the army has been looking at its rank.
Gantz remains unclear about his approach about Palestinian state. Poll shows that if he is held today, he will earn adequate support to become Prime Minister.
A trip to the US, if met with progress on the hostage front, may further promote the support of Gantz.
Israel and Hamas are interacting on a potential new ceasefire and hostage release deal. Vice President Harris said on Sunday that now it is dependent on Hamas to agree on Hamas. Harris said, “Given the huge scale of grief in Gaza, there should be an immediate ceasefire for at least the next six weeks, which is currently on the table.”
Israel has roughly supported the war attempt as an act of self -defense, which has rich in deeply from Hamas’s attack, even increased the global opposition to the fight.
But a growing number is expressing his disappointment with Netanyahu. According to Israeli media, some 10,000 people protested late Saturday night for the initial elections. Such protests have increased in recent weeks, but are much lower than last year’s protests against the government’s judicial overhaul scheme.
If the political rift increases and the Gantz leaves the government, the flood will open for widespread protests by a public who was already unhappy with the government when Hamas was killed, said Raven Hazan, professor of political science at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
On Sunday, an Israeli strike was killed at least 12 people, including five women and two children, who killed a house in a refugee camp at Nuseum in Central Gaza, according to an associated press journalist at Al-Aksa Hospital in Dare Al-Bala. According to witnesses and staff at the hospital, two Israeli strikes killed at least five people in the southwest of Deir al-Balah and destroyed a support truck.
Amid concerns about broad regional conflicts, senior White House advisor Amos Huxstein was going to Lebanon to meet officials on Monday, according to an administration official who was not authorized to comment. White house officials want Lebanese and Israeli officials to prevent stress from their limits.
