How Netanyahu might jeopardize hostages’ lives for his political future | DW News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s future has looked increasingly uncertain, as he faces growing criticism over Israel’s war in Gaza. Now, a sticking point remains in the negotiations, which is whether a truce would be permanent or temporary. Hamas says a deal would need to end the fighting for good, but Netanyahu has vowed to attack Rafah even if a cease-fire is reached. DW asks here whether both sides really want to reach a compromise as Hamas attacks a border crossing and Israel risks alienating Qatar, a mediator in the conflict, by banning their news network Al Jazeera from operating in Israel. Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the US, Germany, and other countries.
