Netanyahu is a "slave to his own rhetoric" says analyst

Israeli polling shows growing dissatisfaction with the country’s military campaign in Gaza, columnist and geopolitics analyst Bobby Ghosh told CNN today.

“There’s a sense among many Israelis that the campaign has run its course, and there’s not much more to be gained,” Ghosh said, adding that some believe it is “endangering those hostages and that it is hurting Israel’s image worldwide.”

“He set the bar so high by saying he wants to completely eliminate Hamas,” Ghosh said, on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Once he set that goal, he is to some degree a slave to his own rhetoric.”

If Netanyahu is “unable to to satisfy the extreme right wing of that coalition who are behind this strategy,” Ghosh said, “they will withdraw their support for him, and his government will collapse.”

Amid intense internal and international criticism, Netanyahu defended his plan for a military takeover of Gaza City at a news conference yesterday, calling it “the best way to end the war and the best way to end it speedily.”
