Gaza War Divides Israel: Politicians Condemn Government, Polls Show Strong Support for Expulsions

The Gaza conflict continues to roil Israel, with divisions emerging even within the government. Two high-profile politicians, Ehud Olmert and Yair Golan, have publicly criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's handling of the war, with Golan going so far as to call the government "the enemy from within." Their criticism, however, doesn't reflect a universal sentiment. Recent polls indicate a significant portion of Israelis support the government's hardline approach, including the idea of expelling Palestinians from Gaza. "A recent survey of Israeli Jews showed 82 percent support expelling Gaza's residents," the video notes, highlighting the deep divisions within Israeli society. The video also examines the military's plans and the potential for a long-term conflict, adding layers of complexity to the already volatile situation. The conflict underscores the deep-seated divisions within Israeli society and the challenges of finding a peaceful resolution.
