In 2024 global leaders including Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and Emmanuel Macron publicly questioned the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Their criticisms came after the Gaza War reached a stalemate in March 2024 as Israel was planning an invasion of the Gaza City of Rafah. Western leaders insisted that all civilians should be evacuated from the city prior to an invasion. Netanyahu responded by saying that Israel is "not a banana republic" and doesn't listen to the other countries when security is on the line. Western leaders fear that if the Rafah invasion happens without an evacuation a further massacre of Palestinian citizens will take place. Israel political observers note that Netanyahu is incentivized to prolong the war since he will likely be voted out of office at its conclusion.

Organisations like Amnesty International and B'Tselem (an independent joint Israeli/Palestinian human rights organisation) call Israel an apartheid state, and Netanyahu's government has done nothing to alleviate this. Netanyahu's government also isn't complying with the International Court of Justice's orders to prevent genocide (although several sources already call what's happening in Gaza currently a genocide).

He hasn't achieved his objectives & now the majority of the electorate don't want him as head of government.
