Netanyahu's Coalition Faces Instability After Gaza Ceasefire
Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is facing political challenges.
After a ceasefire in Gaza, his allies are upset.
His coalition, which is like a team of political parties, has lost some members.
This means he doesn't have a strong majority in parliament anymore.
Some parties want different things, like how to handle the ultra-Orthodox community's military service and what to do with Gaza.
Netanyahu might call for an early election to strengthen his position, but he needs to overcome these obstacles to stay in power.
Netanyahu's coalition weakened after the Gaza ceasefire.
The government currently holds only 60 out of 120 seats.
Far-right allies oppose the ceasefire and demand specific actions.
Ultra-Orthodox parties threaten to withdraw support over military service exemptions.
Netanyahu is considering early elections.
