Netanyahu's endgame; Who decides when the Gaza War is over? | Mathrubhumi English

Theory Briefing

  • The article centers on a single unresolved question: who holds the authority to decide when the Gaza War actually ends.
  • Netanyahu's political survival and war aims are framed as potentially misaligned with a clear, negotiated endpoint.
  • The piece explicitly warns against letting political analysis slide into conspiracy theory when evidence is absent.
  • Competing actors — domestic, regional, and international — each claim a stake in defining what 'over' looks like.
