Defiant Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on opposition to Palestinian statehood, deepening the divide with Israel’s closest international allies, as cracks in his wartime “unity” government became increasingly evident.

Anger with Netanyahu is also increasingly visible on the streets, even though there is broad public support for the war. On Saturday, protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Caesarea and Kfar Saba, some calling for bolder action to secure the release of hostages, and others demanding the prime minister step down.

One in Jerusalem held a placard that read: “Mothers’ cry: we will not sacrifice our children in the war to save the rightwing.”

    Not important to the main point, but why don’t you consider Ukraine to be a “Post-Soviet state like Kazakhstan”? Ukraine was part of the USSR

      I do, hence why I phrased it like “a Post-Soviet state like A instead of one like B”.

      PS: that said, re-reading, that “one” is more likely to be interpreted as going with “white”. Sorry about that.
