From Semafor:
Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz today called on political leaders to agree to an early election in September, becoming the first member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s emergency government to challenge his rule.
Gantz stopped short of saying his National Unity parliamentary alliance — currently leading the polls in Israel — would leave Netanyahu’s wartime government, but urged the administration to ramp efforts to bring Israeli hostages in Gaza home and avoid straining relations with the United States.
The public must know that the government “will not ignore the disaster of October 7 and what preceded it,” Gantz said in a televised speech. “That’s why we have to reach an agreed election date during the month of September.”

Fingers crossed that this is the beginning of the end. Israel is so in danger of loosing its soul.
If Israel really wants to harm Hamas, wants them to wish they were never born, implement the two state solution, with international guarantees, international funding of significant infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza, internationally funded reparations for Palestinian land taken in Israel proper and the West Bank in substitution for any right of return, and a condominium over Jerusalem. A fully functioning Palestinian state in peace with Israel, and with lots to loose should they harbor terrorists, will be the greatest blow against Hamas.
Why so long? The murder of the relief workers punched a hole in my heart.
