Netanyahu's Cynical Strategies

Benjamin Netanyahu's recent rejection of a ceasefire proposal highlights his controversial approach to negotiations, particularly regarding Hezbollah and Hamas. His actions suggest a willingness to prioritize political survival over the safety of Israeli soldiers, as the military incurs heavy casualties in Lebanon due to Hezbollah's capabilities. This strategic choice not only exacerbates regional conflicts but also distracts from Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial, as showcasing military aggression may bolster his political narrative of strength. The support from the Biden administration, which includes vetoing calls for ceasefire at the UN, further enables Netanyahu's stance, raising questions about the morality behind such international alliances.
