Both agreed on the need to attack Gaza, leaving 40,000 Palestinians dead, but is the difference just in the details?
In Gaza, the Israeli military continues on the offensive, and in the United States, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spent the past week courting more support for Israel’s assault on the Palestinian enclave.
The differences emerge in the open on occasion. Most recently, they have centred on the conscription of Israel’s ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students – the military generals, and many secular Israelis, want them to be drafted like other Jews, but ultra-Orthodox parties opposed to conscription are a vital part of Netanyahu’s cabinet.
Of perhaps more consequence to Gaza, however, are differences over the conduct of the war, and how to end it.
