Finance Minister Smotrich with the possible support of Minister Ben G' vir, threatens to pull his settler party out of coalition if the IDF does not continue the war in Gaza after the cease fire and prisoner exchange. This is fatal to any peace. Smotrict brags that he has blocked two earlier cease fire agreements. This man wants his genocide and he does not care who dies in the process.
And sure enough, looks like Netanyahu may be starting to weasel after (because of?) Smotrich's threat. We will see.
