Netanyahu Gets Another Bad News; Former Israeli PM's Big Push For Early Elections Amid Gaza War

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak has called for early elections, saying the country is in despair due to the Netanyahu government. “The war is 15 weeks old. On the battlefield, we see inspiring displays of courage and sacrifice. In Israel, we see despair, a sense that despite the gains of the Israel Defense Forces, Hamas has not been defeated and the return of the hostages is receding,” the former Israeli PM wrote in an opinion piece for Haaretz.
