Israel's emergency government close to collapse: Report

The emergency government in Israel managing the ongoing war on Gaza may be “close to collapse”, according to a report in the Jerusalem Post.

The Israeli outlet said “the question is no longer whether an election will take place in 2024, but rather when in 2024,” as Netanyahu’s position becomes increasingly untenable.

“In fear of voters’ reaction, moreover, Netanyahu has even gone as far as to conceal his transition to Stage 3 of the war not only from his own war cabinet but also from the general public," the report said.

However, it said an election is unlikely to take place imminently as most coalition members have received their budgets and are reluctant to shake things up despite public demand for a vote.
