Cracks in Israel's unity government have already appeared after leaks suggested one member said hostages in Gaza may have to be sacrificed
Cracks in Israel’s unity government have already appeared after leaks suggested one member said hostages in Gaza may have to be sacrificedSuch political compromise would have been considered unthinkable even a week ago. Benny Gantz, the former deputy Prime Minister, stood bitterly opposed to Netanyahu over his coalition’s efforts to shackle Israel’s judiciary.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right, and Benny Gantz, have agreed to forming a unity government in Israel Some Israeli media outlets, including Haaretz and Channel 12, have reported that a key stumbling block for sealing the deal was opposition by Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, who supposedly said that war cabinet members Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot or Eizenkot, a former Chief of General Staff of the Israel Defence Forces, would not be able to make the necessary tough decisions, and according to others was afraid the move would hurt her husband politically.
Middle East experts doubt that the formation of a cross-party unity government means that Israeli’s retribution against Hamas will be any less than brutal. George Byman, a professor in international affairs at Georgetown University in Washington, told a meeting at London’s Chatham House on Wednesday evening, that “given the scale of the killing and the nature of the killing ” and enormous impact they has had on Israelis, the previous rules of engagement with Hamas would probably not apply.
