With the hostages out and the war over (for now), what next for Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel?
Some analysts expect snap elections, especially as 'phase 2' of the Gaza deal causes him difficulties. Others think Netanyahu will work to push off the reckoning till late next year

Trump admin trying to make clear – via statements & leaks – that it had nothing to do with Israel’s strike on Qatar this week. Trump distancing himself. Netanyahu “wasn’t wise” in doing it, US tried to warn Qatar ahead of time, won’t happen again etc.
