A recent Israeli Channel 12 survey highlighted growing public discontent with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership during the war on Lebanon. 64% of respondents expressed distrust in his management, while 54% support negotiating a ceasefire to end the aggression, with only 24% opposing one. The poll also revealed a sharp public demand for accountability, with 79% calling for a commission of inquiry into the events of October 7, 2023. Meanwhile, alternative leadership preferences show Netanyahu losing ground to Naftali Bennett, who garnered 38% support compared to Netanyahu’s 34%.

Israeli bulldozer demolishes mosque in Tayr Harfa, South Lebanon
Circulating footage on social media documented yet another Israeli war crime: the demolishment of a mosque in Tayr Harfa, South Lebanon, by an Israeli bulldozer. Back in October, Israeli occupation forces bombed a mosque in the town of Yaroun, in southern Lebanon, reducing it to rubble. These deliberate acts of destruction of religious sites, part of "Israel's" broader pattern of targeting and demolishing religious sites, are clear violations of international law, particularly the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict with Regulations for the Execution of the Convention. The Convention defines "cultural property" as "(a) movable or immovable property of great importance to the cultural heritage of every people, such as monuments of architecture, art or history, whether religious or secular."
