With US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken arriving in Israel this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have to maneuver diplomatic challenges amid a heightened security situation and pressures from his right-wing coalition partners for more settlements. IDF Intelligence officer Col. Miri Eisen, a former media adviser to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that Netanyahu would likely side with his coalition partners over Washington. She also said that said that Hamas was laying low at this point in time to let the West Bank woes be dumped on the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority. (photo: Abed Kahim Khatib/Reuters)
