Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces political challenges and criticism from within his own party, while also dealing with the fallout from the Gaza conflict. Former chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot criticizes Netanyahu's handling of the war, and the US has disciplined a minister for suggesting a nuclear strike on Gaza. Opinion polls indicate a drop-off in support for Netanyahu and his party, and the government is considering an independent commission of inquiry into the attacks. The confirmation of Jack Lew as the new US Ambassador to Israel brings mixed reactions, with concerns about his involvement in the Iran Nuclear Deal.
