Netanyahu Prolonged the Gaza War to Stay in Power, — NYT.
▪️The publication, relying on dozens of documents and interviews with more than XXX sources, found that in the spring of 2024, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could have stopped fighting in Gaza, but refused to do so in order to preserve the coalition and stay in power
▪️ The ceasefire proposal could have been implemented in April 2024 and would have allowed for a hostage exchange, saved thousands of lives and advanced the agreement with Saudi Arabia.
▪️ Netanyahu's personal political survival outweighed national interests — analysts point out that his decision to continue the campaign may have been prompted by a desire to remain in the prime minister's post.
▪️NYT correspondents conclude that the longest conflict in Israel's history was driven not so much by an external enemy as by internal political logic.
