Israel - Hamas Conflict

quote

The Israeli prime minister has criticised regional players since start of the war on Gaza. Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza in early October, its relations with countries in the region have come under increasing strain. Israel has accused Egypt of blocking aid deliveries to Gaza and criticised Qatar’s role in mediating the release of Israeli captives. Is Benjamin Netanyahu criticising Cairo, Doha and Amman for political gain, as he faces calls to step down as Israel’s prime minister? And how will his condemnation of these countries affect ongoing negotiations towards a ceasefire?
