What exit strategy? Israel-Gaza fighting intensifies as pressure mounts on Netanyahu

For Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, it's all happening as he faces the wrath of families of hostages who want their loved ones home safe, and as US and European allies dial up pressure to do what he has always resisted: work towards an actual two-state solution with the Palestinians. 

It is also about political survival. When the fighting ends, Netanyahu faces a reckoning over security lapses on his watch, not to mention three corruption cases. For Israel, it's about a shattered sense of invincibility. For ordinary Palestinians, it's a living nightmare. How to end this cycle of death?
