Israel, the shape of the debate inside that nation# has become even starker, around 130 hostages## still held, a world increasingly outraged# at the Palestinian death toll, and clear## disagreements with Washington, as the Israeli# prime minister says he will stay the course.

Nick Schifrin reports.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Israeli politics is# always a contact sport, but, toda in an Israeli Parliament committee meeting,# the families of hostages held in Gaza erupted.

MAN (through translator): I ask you, if these# were your children, what would you have done?

NICK SCHIFRIN: Hostage families are# increasingly challenging the government,## including outside Prime Minister Netanyahu's# house.

They ones over prosecuting the war in Gaza.

That# debate is now inside Israel's war cabinet.

Gadi Eisenkot is a war cabinet observer and former# army chief.

In December, his son Gal was killed## fighting in Gaza.

He promised to make the right# decisions for those who have sacrificed.

Last## week, he criticized Netanyahu and said the best# way to release the hostages was a cease-fire.

GADI EISENKOT, Israeli War Cabinet Member# (through translator): It is impossible to## return the hostages lies to the public, then he's selling# lies.

There's no other way to put it.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Publicly, Netanyahu has# rejected any deal that would require Israel## to stop the war and its effort to uncover# Hamas tunnels that it says hid host including this one under the# Southern Gaza City of Khan Yunis.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Israeli Prime Minister# (through translator): I utterly reject the## Hamas monsters' ca elimination of Hamas and the# return of all our hostages.

NICK SCHIFRIN: But U.S. officials say# there are negotiations over a longer## pause in exchange for the release of# most, if not all, of the hostages JOE BIDEN, President of the United States:# There are a number of two-state solutions.

NICK SCHIFRIN: There's also a longer term# Netanyahu disagreement with the U.S. On Friday,## President Biden reiterated he# believed Israel's security would## be best guaranteed by a two-state solution.

But QUESTION: But Bibi said he's# opposed to a two-state solution.

NICK SCHIFRIN: But, over the# at least publicly, that is exactly what h BENJAMIN NETANYAHU (through translator):# My insistence is what prevented for year the establishment of a Palestinian state,# wh Israel.

As long as I am prime minister,# I will continue to firmly stand by it.

JOHN KIRBY, NSC Coordinator For Strategic# Communications: It's the president's view## that a two-state solution# is the best path forward.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Today, National# Security Council spokesman John## Kirby once again put the onus on Israel.

JOHN KIRBY: It's going to require leadership# an d it's going to require leadership there.
