"Israeli Officials Divided on Ending Hamas War Amid Mounting Pressure"

Israeli officials are publicly divided over the direction of the conflict with Hamas, with disagreements within the war cabinet on issues such as hostage negotiations and the future governance of Gaza. The split reflects broader debates on military pressure vs. negotiation for hostages, and the role of the Palestinian Authority in post-war Gaza. There is also frustration in the Biden administration with Netanyahu's handling of the conflict, and a need for a different approach to discussing the two-state solution that addresses concerns from both Israeli and American perspectives.
