The Israeli intelligence minister Yuval Steinitz called on forming a "national unity" government as Netanyahu's popularity among the Zionist settlers has waned after 50 days of military and political failure in Gaza.

Steinitz called on sacking Netanyahu's government or settling the crisis in Gaza.

Zionist polls showed a sharp declination of PM Benjamin Netanyahu's ratings due to the army's inability to stop the resistance rocketry fire onto the Israeli settlements.

Israeli experts considered that the Palestinian resistance has become more powerful and will start preparing for the upcoming war, benefiting from lifting the blockade and from the popular support in Palestine and the Islamic World.
