Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced fury from protesters outside Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, in Jerusalem, a day after he resumed the war in Gaza, shattering the two-month-old ceasefire with Hamas. On Highway 1 – the main road connecting Tel Aviv to Jerusalem – protesters held a banner reading: “The future of the coalition or the future of Israel.” The banner underlined a message delivered by thousands of people to the capital on Wednesday: That over nearly 18 months of war and fragile ceasefires, Netanyahu continues to prioritize his political survival over the security of his country, the lives of Israeli hostages and those of Palestinians in Gaza. The anger in those accusations was palpable on Wednesday, just a day after Israel bombarded Gaza, killing more than 400 people and injuring hundreds more, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry – marking one of the war’s deadliest days. The Israeli military said Wednesday that it had launched “targeted ground activities” in Gaza, partially recapturing a key area in the territory. For Netanyahu, breaking the ceasefire has helped shore up his shaky coalition amid his ongoing corruption trial and ahead of a key vote on Israel’s budget.
