A deadly, planned IED blast in Beit Hanoun, Northern Gaza, has killed at least five Israeli soldiers and thrown the region's delicate diplomatic efforts into chaos.
The attack, which occurred on Monday evening, triggered an immediate and furious response from within the Israeli government, threatening to upend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's strategy.
Israel’s controversial National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has aggressively called for a complete halt to the ongoing negotiations with Hamas in Doha.
In an explosive statement, Ben-Gvir urged Netanyahu to recall the Israeli delegation, declaring, "There is no need to negotiate with those who murd@r our fighters – they should be crushed to the bone, starved to death." This reiterates his well-known extremist stance, where he has consistently advocated for a full Gaza siege and the displacement of Palestinians.
This internal political firestorm puts Prime Minister Netanyahu in an incredibly difficult position.
He faces immense pressure from right-wing allies like Ben-Gvir to adopt more aggressive military measures.
Simultaneously, he is being pushed by the families of hostages to de-escalate the war and secure their release through diplomacy.
The attack also came just hours before a reported meeting where Netanyahu and former US President Donald Trump allegedly discussed a controversial plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza.
This confluence of military loss, internal political division, and high-stakes international discussions marks a critical turning point in the Israel-Hamas war.
