Why is Netanyahu lashing out at Egypt, Jordan and Qatar | Inside Story

Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza in early October, its tenuous relations with countries in the region have come under increasing strain.

And how will his condemnation of these countries affect ongoing negotiations towards a ceasefire?
