Netanyahu Faces Intense Pressure Amid Rafah Invasion Plans

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is caught between U.S. demands for restraint and far-right coalition pressures for a decisive attack on Hamas.

  • Netanyahu is under increasing pressure from the U.S. to avoid a civilian catastrophe in Gaza, while facing demands from coalition partners for a strong offensive in Rafah.
  • U.S. President Joe Biden has pushed for humanitarian aid access and a temporary ceasefire, complicating Netanyahu's political position.
  • Internal political threats intensify as far-right coalition members threaten government stability over the handling of the Rafah situation.
  • Critics accuse Netanyahu of prioritizing political survival over resolving the conflict, as he faces multiple court trials.
  • The ongoing conflict and its management have led to widespread international and domestic criticism of both Netanyahu and Biden.
