In 2024 global leaders including Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and Emmanuel Macron publicly questioned the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Their criticisms came after the Gaza War reached a stalemate in March 2024 as Israel was planning an invasion of the Gaza City of Rafah. Western leaders insisted that all civilians should be evacuated from the city prior to an invasion. Netanyahu responded by saying that Israel is "not a banana republic" and doesn't listen to the other countries when security is on the line. Western leaders fear that if the Rafah invasion happens without an evacuation a further massacre of Palestinian citizens will take place. Israel political observers note that Netanyahu is incentivized to prolong the war since he will likely be voted out of office at its conclusion.

Yes. They are the only Jewish state and we have an obligation to support the people in Israel, not politicize the largest pogrom since Holocaust. We use this as political tool and I am disgusted. Israel is a democracy, a democracy that IS functioning, and the people will kick him out, but it is not Canada's problem.

Yes and No. Benjamin Netanyahu's government be held account for their war crimes, and the war must end. However, the Israeli government and Palestinian need to be supported equally. (Not Hamas) We must try to stabilize the region with economy support, towards Israel and Palestine, however the Palestinians need to be the majority in this.
