@CarjaLandry Netanyahu is under pressure because his international allies urge him to end the war, while certain members in the coalition say that they don't support a ceasefire plan. I think it wont come to a ceasefire this week.

Up to six Tory election candidates could switch to Reform UK in coming days after Nigel Farage's shock decision to stand as a candidate and lead the party into polling day, GB News can disclose.
The candidates, at least one of a former Conservative MP in the last Parliament, are in a race against time to make up their minds.
All parties must submit their nominations for the July 4 general election by 4pm on Friday this week.
Any decision by a Tory candidate in the next three days to defect to Reform would be a further hammer blow to Rishi Sunak's Tory party after three mega polls pointed to a Labour landslide at the general election.
GB News has spoken to one of the candidates who is seriously weighing up whether to jump to Reform UK before the deadline.
The candidate said that their mind could be made up by the performance of Sunak in tonight's leaders' debate with Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour party.
More live reporting of this at @GBNEWS shortly.
