The article noted that Netanyahu finds himself &#8220;trapped&#8221; between demands from his hardline right-wing coalition partners for military escalation and pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration has started to diverge from the diplomatic protest rhetoric of his predecessor, Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, The Washington Post pointed out that the return of Hamas fighters to Gaza&#8217;s main streets underscores the failure of Israel\u2019s months-long intensive bombing campaign to achieve its stated goal of eliminating Hamas as a political and military force. According to the American newspaper, scenes emerging from Gaza suggest that while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/01\/23\/netanyahu-under-scrutiny-global-media-warns-of-his-political-maneuvers\/\">Netanyahu<\/a> may have succeeded in reducing Hamas&#8217;s combat capabilities, he failed to end its control on the ground, raising questions about the effectiveness of Israel&#8217;s strategy.<\/p>\n<h3>Positive Indicator<\/h3>\n<p>In France, Lib\u00e9ration discussed the second <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2024\/03\/14\/netanyahu-claims-qatar-pressuring-hamas-in-prisoner-exchange-talks\/\">prisoner<\/a> exchange between Hamas and Israel, which proceeded relatively smoothly. The paper saw this as a sign of both parties\u2019 commitment to the ceasefire agreement, despite Israel\u2019s repeated accusations of Hamas violating the deal. However, the French newspaper warned that the post-ceasefire landscape remains uncertain, especially given the influence of the far right on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/01\/23\/netanyahu-under-scrutiny-global-media-warns-of-his-political-maneuvers\/\">Netanyahu<\/a>. Developments in the West Bank, including settlement expansion, highlight policies that could prolong the crisis.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5735\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5735\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5735 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli Intelligence Failure\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Al-Qassam-Brigades-6.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5735\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al-Qassam Brigades<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Humanitarian Concerns<\/h3>\n<p>The Guardian focused on warnings from experts about the dangers posed by thousands of unexploded bombs left by the war in Gaza. These explosives threaten the lives of civilians as they return to check on their homes or search for missing relatives. The British newspaper stressed that the presence of these explosives under the rubble poses a persistent risk of death even after military operations have ended.<\/p>\n<h3>Israeli Claims<\/h3>\n<p>In Lebanon, The Financial Times reported on Israel&#8217;s delay in withdrawing its forces from border areas with Lebanon, citing alleged non-compliance with the ceasefire agreement. The British newspaper quoted sources saying that Israel&#8217;s daily attacks on border villages continue, heightening concerns among Lebanese families, especially given the anticipated long-term environmental and structural damage caused by the military operations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4733\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4733\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4733 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Internal-disputes-within-the-Israeli-Ministerial-Security-Cabinet-over-who-bears-responsibility-for-the-security-failure-in-Gaza-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The occupation army did not achieve its goals in Gaza\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Internal-disputes-within-the-Israeli-Ministerial-Security-Cabinet-over-who-bears-responsibility-for-the-security-failure-in-Gaza-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Internal-disputes-within-the-Israeli-Ministerial-Security-Cabinet-over-who-bears-responsibility-for-the-security-failure-in-Gaza-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Internal-disputes-within-the-Israeli-Ministerial-Security-Cabinet-over-who-bears-responsibility-for-the-security-failure-in-Gaza-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Internal-disputes-within-the-Israeli-Ministerial-Security-Cabinet-over-who-bears-responsibility-for-the-security-failure-in-Gaza-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Internal-disputes-within-the-Israeli-Ministerial-Security-Cabinet-over-who-bears-responsibility-for-the-security-failure-in-Gaza-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Internal-disputes-within-the-Israeli-Ministerial-Security-Cabinet-over-who-bears-responsibility-for-the-security-failure-in-Gaza.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4733\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netanyahu political pressure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Separately, the right-wing American website Breitbart highlighted remarks by former CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who emphasized that the Trump administration is refocusing intelligence policies to address 21st-century geopolitical challenges.
