Netanyahu's coalition politics thrive on theatrics, but the looming ceasefire deal reveals his struggles to balance political survival with the fate of Israeli hostages.
The agreed ceasefire bears striking resemblance to the one Netanyahu killed over the summer, allowing the question of accountability for Israeli casualties to linger.
For Netanyahu’s right-wing supporters, a ceasefire contradicts his promise of total victory over Hamas, as it might lead to the militant group's survival and strengthened position.
The prolonged war in Gaza has benefitted Netanyahu politically, allowing him to sidestep accountability for the October 7 attack while fostering a façade of unity.
