Quick Take

Israelis push Netanyahu for cease-fire after Hamas kills hostages

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: The largest social dissent we have seen since the October 7 terror attacks, since the war in Gaza has started in Israel. And the proximate reason for this was the Hamas execution of six Israeli hostages in Rafah. It's a big deal; it's a general strike of the largest labor union in Israel. They want an end to the fighting, they want the hostages back, and they want a deal done, and they're tired of the way this war has been prosecuted.

Israel & Hezbollah: What to expect next

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: This wave of Israel-Hezbollah attacks is disentangled from Iran, and we saw that the Israelis, of course, were able to assassinate the political leader of Hamas, Haniyeh, who was in Tehran on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Iranian president, deeply embarrassing for the Iranians. It's been a month, and there's been no Iranian retaliation despite the fact that the Supreme leader and others in the Iranian government structure had said that major strikes were coming within hours; that's not the case. Iran is waiting for a window of opportunity to avoid dramatically escalating the feud into a region-wide war, same as Hezbollah.
