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.

No
@9LVQVNY3mos3MO
He has repeatedly ignored allied nations' requests for a ceasefire in Gaza and escalated the conflict by drawing in a strike from Iran, exasperating the tensions in the region
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Yes
@9LVQVNY3mos3MO
He is a threat to World Peace, as seen by his Genocidal actions in Gaza. He needs to be ousted from office and face an International Tribunal for possible crimes against Humanity
@9QYFR262wks2W
The government should continue to recognise Netanyahu as the legitimate ruler of Israel, while expressing disapproval of the actions he is taking.

No, and we should cut off any and all support for Israel

They shouldn't support any ethnonationalist government, regardless of who it is led by.
@9M8CT843mos3MO
If the government wants to support Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership of the Israeli government, then they can go for it unless there are civilians who do not want to support him.
@9LWQ5YS3mos3MO
Yes, but with strict commitment to any other possible solutions.
