Israel may have just hit a turning point in its war on Gaza — but not for the reason you think

• Mass protests are taking place in Israel, and even its closest global allies are turning critical.
• But these events aren't necessarily the most likely to prompt a change in Israel's invasion of Gaza.
• Instead, a heated internal feud over the conscription of ultra-Orthodox Jews could prove decisive.

In Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, thousands flooded the streets in the past week in Israel's largest protests since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war six months ago.

While the demonstrations have been rife with calls for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign and for a new election, it's not these protests that should concern him most.
