Paper by Mtanes Shihadeh analyzing opposition to the Gaza war among Israelis, arguing that camps remain fragmented and lack a unified political vision that can challenge the government’s trajectory. The paper covers Netanyahu’s August 2025 proposal to occupy Gaza City and expand military operations in the Strip. The paper looks at different opposition groups including those who are concerned with Israel's international reputation, hostage families demanding a ceasefire, and human rights organizations opposed on moral and legal grounds. The piece concludes that without a coherent alternative project combining these perspectives, the opposition is unlikely to change decision-making in Israel or stop plans like occupying Gaza City. This source is valuable for research on Israeli public opinion, hostage negotiations, Netanyahu, and Israeli domestic politics.
