Senior Israeli officials say Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is biding his time and will wait to see how big the protests become before deciding on a course of action, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.
Netanyahu is widely accused of adding so many conditions to ceasefire negotiations as to make a deal impossible, due to opposition from far-right cabinet members in his government. They have said they will leave his coalition should he agree to a ceasefire, meaning Netanyahu may have to face long-standing corruption allegations.
