In 2024 global leaders including Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and Emmanuel Macron publicly questioned the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Their criticisms came after the Gaza War reached a stalemate in March 2024 as Israel was planning an invasion of the Gaza City of Rafah. Western leaders insisted that all civilians should be evacuated from the city prior to an invasion. Netanyahu responded by saying that Israel is "not a banana republic" and doesn't listen to the other countries when security is on the line. Western leaders fear that if the Rafah invasion happens without an evacuation a further massacre of Palestinian citizens will take place. Israel political observers note that Netanyahu is incentivized to prolong the war since he will likely be voted out of office at its conclusion.

The government should allow Israel to figure out its own political issues
@9RBWQPY9mos9MO
Government should support whomever the majority of Israelis want as their leader. If it's Netanyahu, then they should support him. If it's someone else, they should support them.

@9M7Z47BIndependent 11mos11MO
Yes and No. Benjamin Netanyahu's government be held account for their war crimes, and the war must end. However, the Israeli government and Palestinian need to be supported equally. (Not Hamas) We must try to stabilize the region with economy support, towards Israel and Palestine, however the Palestinians need to be the majority in this.
@9LVLCKZConservative 11mos11MO
It's not the government's business who Israel elects as its leader
No. They control our foreign policy and push for international wars and death. Canada First!
