Benjamin Netanyahu was quick to bask in the glow of Israel’s military success in Iran. Now he must turn his attention back to Gaza, a war in which the major strategic victories are far harder to find.

"In contrast to the ongoing war in Gaza, which is perceived by many of us as a cynical move designed to serve political purposes, the Iranian story is far above any dispute," wrote columnist Ben Caspit, a fierce Netanyahu critic, in the newspaper Ma'ariv.

Credited with confronting Israel’s greatest foe, PM Netanyahu finds ceasefire does little to solve his other challenges.
