Menachem Klein, professor of political science at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, has told Al Jazeera that there had been “a struggle” in Israel over whether to resume the war or the negotiations. The army was uninterested in resuming the war, and the families of the captives demanded a deal, but Netanyahu was interested in resuming the war and cancelling the deal, he said. Klein said the army is fatigued and needs to reorganise itself, including replacing the chief of staff, and this cannot be done while a war is ongoing.
