Far-right Israeli ministers urge Netanyahu not to accept ceasefire proposal The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has sparked intense debate within the Israeli government. Far-right ministers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government are urging him not to accept a ceasefire proposal put forward by Egypt and supported by the United States. The far-right ministers, including Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked, argue that accepting a ceasefire would be a sign of weakness and would not achieve the Israeli military's objectives in the conflict. They believe that Israel must continue its military operations until Hamas is significantly weakened and its ability to launch rockets into Israel is severely compromised. These ministers have been vocal in their criticism of Netanyahu's handling of the conflict, accusing him of being too hesitant to use the full force of the Israeli military against Hamas. They believe that Israel should be taking a much more aggressive stance in its response to Hamas attacks, including targeting the terrorist group's leadership and infrastructure more directly. However, other members of Netanyahu's coalition government, as well as some military officials, are in favor of accepting the ceasefire proposal. They argue that continuing the military operations risks further escalation and civilian casualties on both sides. They also believe that a ceasefire could provide an opportunity to negotiate a more lasting peace settlement in the long term. Netanyahu is facing a difficult decision as he weighs the competing perspectives within his government. The pressure from the far-right ministers adds an additional layer of complexity to an already challenging situation. Ultimately, Netanyahu will have to carefully consider all the factors at play and make a decision that he believes is in the best interests of Israel and its citizens.
