By ordering the resumption of bombing in Gaza, thus breaking the fragile ceasefire with Hamas, Benjamin Netanyahu is in fact simply seeking to cover up his internal failures and continue to hold power firmly in his hands: The protesters who took to the rallies in Israel against the continuation of the war seem more than convinced of this.
According to them, it is not surprising that the resumption of the bombing is related to the escalation of political tensions in the country on Sunday, when the Israeli prime minister announced that he would seek the dismissal of the head of the Shin Bet internal security service, Ronen Bar, an unprecedented move, which, according to experts, may even be anti-legal. “The truth is that the attacks on Gaza are being used as a tool for political interests.
The way they are acting is to create this external threat and silence critics who are accusing them of “undemocratic” behavior, Ora Peled Nakash, a former senior officer in the Israeli navy and one of the organizers of the protests, told The Guardian.
Protests took place in several cities in Israel, including Jerusalem, where people gathered in one of the main squares and then marched towards Prime Minister Netanyahu's residence.
Netanyahu needs the support of right-wing allies to secure some key votes in the Knesset in the coming days and weeks, otherwise he risks losing power.
These allies have strongly opposed a permanent end to the conflict in Gaza. The Israeli prime minister, on the other hand, is also on trial for corruption and, if found guilty, risks a prison sentence.
On Tuesday, a court approved his request not to appear at the next hearing, citing the resurgence of conflict in the enclave.
