Netanyahu’s political opponents had called for him to resign over his failure to stop the attacks of Oct 7, when terrorists from Gaza raided Israel and killed more than 1,400 people, according to a report by The New York Times.
Abroad, the conduct of the Israeli counterattack on Gaza — which has killed more than 8,000 people, according to the Hamas-run Gazan health ministry — has generated widespread outcry, with humanitarian groups and the United Nations General Assembly calling for a ceasefire.
