Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is confronting a wave of domestic criticism after a US-brokered ceasefire ended the two-week Israel-US military campaign against Iran without achieving the sweeping goals he had promised, including regime collapse and destruction of Iran's nuclear and missile programmes. A poll by the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) found that 61 percent of Israelis oppose the ceasefire, and 73 percent expect fighting to resume within a year, reflecting widespread disappointment that the Iranian government remains intact despite the conflict's heavy toll. Opposition leaders who had initially backed the war, including Yair Lapid and Yair Golan, have turned on Netanyahu, accusing him of strategic failure, while analysts warn that the unresolved Iran confrontation, combined with continued public anger over the October 2023 Hamas attacks, leaves the prime minister politically exposed on two fronts simultaneously.
