Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Gantz the so called moderate when he quit?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
I just read another article that said 30% were in favor of it. 30% were opposed and the rest didn't have an opinion.
ie. Depending on your news sources' bias (none of them are unbiased) that will be written as '70% of Israeli's don't support continued fighting' or '70% of Israeli's don't support a ceasefire'
This article is targeting the latter headline.
The language used above is '55% opposed'. I wasn't referencing the headline but the blurb from the article.
So a direct comparison with what I said, but with much different poll results.
It’s nice they’re finally talking about demilitarizing Israeli settlements near the border.
I think the ceasefire mostly serves so Biden has some "win" he can sell so he can continue arming the genocide in Gaza without the Dems alienating their former base further.
The way Biden said Israel is free to immediately attack again, if they feel threatened, and the time of 60 days shows this to be just a delay until Trump gets to office and hopefully giving the full greenlight for genocide Biden had to pretend not to want.
Israel never wanted to wage war with Hezbollah. Their goal was always to colonize Gaza with as little external interference. Hezbollah claimed they would not agree to a ceasefire without Gaza. So this is a big win for Israel.
I am also struggling to wrap my head around this. Stretching the IDF thin seems to have worked, not to prevent the genocide, but to strain Israel. From the news i saw it also seems that the stock of missile defense on Israeli side was running low as Hezbollah missiles not getting intercepted became more and more common over the past weeks. So militarily Israels seems to have reached exhaustion, possibly to a soon breaking point. Now they get time to regroup and if Netanyahu says he wants to prepare for fighting Iran, that is going to get ugly for Lebanon again. Of course a war between Israel and Iran would be a whole other level of escalation and i cannot see it working out without western allies committing troops to it.
While the ICC arrest warrants put further stress on Israel legally, there still seems to be no sufficient motion to push for them to end the illegal occupation of Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank. If Israel gets away with the destruction and carnage in Gaza and Lebanon, they will use even more bombs next time in Lebanon.
