The politics, policy and strategic rationale behind Netanyahu’s warmongering in Gaza: Marwan Bishara

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been steadfast in his approach since October 7, 2023, emphasizing that his focus is not on pursuing a ceasefire but on negotiating a hostage deal. Bishara suggests there are political, policy, and strategic reasons driving Netanyahu’s stance. Politically, he argues that Netanyahu’s personal and political future, as well as the stability of his coalition, depend on the continuation of the war, the defeat of Hamas, and achieving the stated goals of the conflict. Bishara emphasizes that maintaining the war effort is crucial for Netanyahu to preserve his coalition and political survival, as yielding to external pressures from Hamas, Egypt, Qatar, or the US could undermine his position.
