Why it matters:
Israel's internal disputes over war policies could lead to a deadlock in talks with Hamas and the failure of international initiatives to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The big picture:
While the fifth round of indirect talks between the Israeli regime and Hamas in Doha, Qatar, ended without a result, Palestinian officials have considered the Israeli team to lack real authority.
Yair Lapid, the opposition leader of Israel has considered Netanyahu's policies to be an obstacle to resolving the crisis and described the presence of the Morag axis as inappropriate.
Key points:
- Netanyahu is content with lengthy consultations with Israeli internal officials and is postponing a decision.
- Lapid calls for Israel to withdraw from Gaza and establish a buffer zone to ensure security in border areas.
