Netanyahu under pressure to accept US proposed peace agreement for Gaza
People protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government and call for the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip by the Hamas militant group, in Tel Aviv, Israel, June 1, 2024

ISRAEL’S prime minister faced growing pressure today after US President Joe Biden announced a proposed agreement on Saturday to end the fighting in Gaza.

Thousands of Israelis have taken to the street over many weeks demanding that Benjamin Netanyahu reach a deal to end the fighting so that the hostages held by Hamas can be released.

But Mr Netanyahu’s far-right allies are threatening to collapse his government if he accepts the deal before Hamas has been completely destroyed.
