These questions could decide Netanyahu's fate
Following the October 7 Hamas attack, Israel launched its longest offensive in history. Public opinion polls indicate that the Gaza conflict and Palestinian self-determination issues are not as central to domestic political debates as expected. Trust in a two-state solution has diminished among both Israelis and Palestinians, with only Arab parties advocating for it. Opposition parties demand an independent commission to investigate leadership and security failures, while Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing. He proposed a 'national committee' instead of a judicial inquiry, which the opposition rejected. A report suggested Netanyahu ignored warnings about impending attacks, leading to further political damage. The issue of Qatari financial support for Gaza has resurfaced, with critics claiming it indirectly aided Hamas. Despite these controversies, Netanyahu's party support has slightly increased but remains close to pre-war levels.
