Deep dives
Netanyahu's Health and Political Context
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is recovering from prostate surgery and is under observation in a fortified area of the Hadassah Medical Center due to security concerns amid ongoing conflict. Following the surgery, Netanyahu reportedly communicated with a Knesset leader about advancing legislation related to military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews, indicating his continued involvement in political matters despite his recovery. His statement prior to surgery emphasized that Israel would resume military operations after a potential hostage deal, suggesting a firm stance on the ongoing conflict. This has led to speculation about his approach to negotiations, with some critics arguing it complicates prospects for securing hostage releases.
