As famine conditions continue to take hold in the Gaza Strip, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under increasing pressure from internal and external allies, as well as opponents and critics, to end the war in Gaza.
President Trump, supportive of Netanyahu on most issues, has broken with him on the humanitarian situation and suggests the U.S. and its allies might unilaterally take additional steps to provide aid to Gaza civilians.
European and Arab leaders are threatening to recognize an independent State of Palestine unless Netanyahu abandons maximalist war goals and widens humanitarian aid agency access to Gaza.
Netanyahu’s coalition partners oppose any alteration of Israel’s goals to eliminate Hamas and favor continuing to limit aid as a means of pressuring Hamas.
