The October 7 attacks united many Israeli politicians and citizens in grief and anger but, after eight months of war, that has changed and right-wing voices now have a larger seat at Benjamin Netanyahu's table.
It translates to "quiet, we're shooting", and it reflects the widely held understanding politics and other distractions should be put aside for the good of the country while it's fighting.In the wake of the October 7 Hamas attacks, Israel is came together, united in grief and anger, both politically and among other citizens.
Netanyahu is at the heart of it all. The 74-year-old now has few dissenting voices around him as an expansion of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon gets closer. After the departures of Gantz and Eisenkot, opposition groups declared a week of street civilian protests across the country that included blocking highways and mass demonstrations.
But Netanyahu is resisting, backed by his far-right coalition partners that have just been handed more decision-making power.After Gantz's resignation, Netanyahu shut down the war cabinet, leaving only the far-right voices of the most right-wing government in Israel's history to make the day-to-day decisions regarding the war.
Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have been trading rocket and drone attacks since the start of the Israel-Gaza war.But the situation is escalating and Israeli officials are now openly discussing the option of war with Lebanon.
