The tension between the White House and Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has escalated as Netanyahu expressed skepticism about the possibility of a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza. This contradicts the Biden administration's assertion that an agreement is imminent, with a top U.S. official claiming a deal is 90% complete. Netanyahu dismissed this claim as 'exactly inaccurate,' stating that Hamas is not close to reaching a deal and aims to 'reconstitute their terror kingdom.'
Meanwhile, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a 10-day military operation in Jenin, a city in the occupied West Bank, resulting in significant destruction. The operation led to the deaths of several individuals, including militants and civilians, sparking mourning and outrage among the residents. The city incurred over $10 million in damages to infrastructure and businesses, exacerbating tensions and anti-Israel sentiments.
