Netanyahu is really emerging as the most mature and responsible person around here. He stands strong against the childish voices on the right, who think that peace can be achieved here through force, as well as against the childish voices on the left, who think that peace can be achieved here through peace agreements.
This is the reality of our lives here, a constant struggle that we have to overcome both physically and morally. Round after round after round. We are getting through the last one very reasonably. Without any fatalities. This is no small thing.
Opposing a ceasefire means supporting a ground entry and dozens of dead soldiers, an achievement that Hamas seems unlikely to achieve in this round even if it continues to fire for months to come.

There is no greater absurdity than a ground entry to end a celestial campaign, in which Israel's technological advantage is amazingly expressed through a new weapon, changing the battlefield and revolutionary, perhaps on the level of the invention of the tank: Iron Dome.
It seems that Netanyahu not only understands well the situation of the people of Israel among the nations, but also the situation of Israel among itself. It is impossible for a leader from the right to embark on a ground-based move without unity among the people, without the support of the left.
Even if there is no choice but to continue, the fact that Netanyahu clearly did not rush into battle and tried in every way to reach a ceasefire will help the strategic asset known as 'unity in the people.'.
