  2. In reality, the party led by Gantz serves as an opposition. According to polls, it now ranks way ahead of Netanyahu's Likud party.
  3. The brutality from Hamas, resulting in over 1,200 casualties and even more fleeing to the Gaza Strip, sparked the Israeli retaliation in the Gaza Strip.
  4. The Israelis responded with air strikes and ground fighting against the extremists. Nevertheless, some Israelis disagree with this scenario since it hasn't resulted in a conclusive victory even after over half a year. Moreover, more than a hundred hostages are still being held by Hamas.
  5. Netanyahu has been governing alongside conservative and very religious allies since the conclusion of 2022. He possibly hasn't put forward a strategy for maintaining and restoring the Gaza Strip after the war ends to avoid offending his right-wing coalition alliance members.
