Pressure from the Israeli political elite is being applied on Netanyahu to resume the war, following what Israel claimed was a ceasefire violation by Hamas – which the Palestinian group has rejected. Opposition leader and former member of Israel’s security council, Benny Gantz, has said all options should remain on the table for Israel, “including a return to military manoeuvring”. Former PM and Netanyahu’s rival Naftali Bennett said Hamas had retaken control of Gaza, adding the group “must be destroyed”.
