Netanyahu Had Ceasefire Deal in April 2024 But Kept Gaza War Going to Stay in Power: NY Times

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly rejected ceasefire deals and other chances to deescalate the devastating war in Gaza and beyond, all to remain in power and avoid corruption charges, according to a new investigation in The New York Times Magazine. Netanyahu put the integrity of the coalition, the safety of his continuous rule of the government and the state ... as a first priority ahead of any other priority," says Ronen Bergman, Pulitzer Prize-winning Israeli investigative reporter.
