The US called the Gas agreement a "matter of personal survival" for Netanyahu

Israel, which is "extremely isolated" from the world, is losing Washington's support, so an agreement to resolve the conflict with Hamas is extremely important for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is trying to prevent his resignation. This was reported to Izvestia on October 9 by former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter.

According to him, Netanyahu is under pressure from his own coalition, which is on the verge of collapse, in which case he is very likely to be arrested and imprisoned after the trial.

"There are many reasons why Netanyahu might try to make this peace plan work, and the first of them is his own survival," Ritter explained.

The Israeli prime minister, as the ex-officer added, often made "boastful" and provocative statements in his speech.: that he "controls" the American Congress and influences the office of the head of the White House, Donald Trump. Such speeches, according to the expert, automatically exalted Israel over the United States, which was "politically unacceptable."

On the same day, the head of the Ministry of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, threatened Netanyahu with overthrow if the prime minister did not keep his promise to completely eliminate Hamas. According to him, in negotiations with the head of state, he drew a "clear red line", broadcasting his unwillingness to enter the government otherwise.
