Israel's Netanyahu appears at odds with White House and Israel's military over war with Hamas in Gaza

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears increasingly at odds with both the U.S. government and his own military over his handling of the war in Gaza, and the divisions come amid mounting concern that another front in the war, with serious implications for U.S. forces in the region, could open up.

A fracture appeared in public view this week between Netanyahu and Israel's military as the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip approaches the 10-month mark.

The Ministry of Health in the Hamas-run territory says more than 37,400 Palestinians have been killed since the war began. The crisis was sparked by Hamas' Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel, which saw the militants kill about 1,200 people and kidnap more than 200 others — about half of whom remain captive in Gaza.
