For the utility of the new – old tactic he wants to follow in the war, he was trying to persuade both the military leadership and the opposition his prime minister all day long, but at a time facing extremely harsh criticism of his manipulations, they have not only brought him back to now.
IDF chief disagreements, reactions and meeting
The idea he is considering and promoting now, as pressure on his government by many states preparing to recognize Palestine are increasing, is the re -full and absolute occupation of the lane. According to Israeli and international media, the Israeli prime minister is promoting this idea to meetings with security and army officers, as well as officials, but he encounters significant reactions. The reaction that stood out was that of the Chief of the General Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Eyal Zamir, who disagreed with a discussion.
Although the reasons for Zamir’s disagreement with Netanyahu strategy have not been disclosed, it seems that he was asked to present alternatives to a meeting today. According to Reuters at today’s meeting, Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Kats, Eyal Zamir and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer participated. The result of this not announced meeting will then go within the week to obtain approval from the Council of Ministers.
The various statements and reactions to choosing an even larger operation shows that only the very close supporters of the prime minister, but also the far -right ministers of his government support it. They are also who all day today attacking Eyal Zamir, but also to those who dare to express themselves negatively about the plan of Gaza.
The opposition supported Zamir, Netanyahu replied that “the army will do it”
On the contrary, Zamir was supported by the opposition, as well as Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
“The Chief of the General Staff is obliged to express his professional view with clearly and without a doubt in political leadership. I am convinced that he will do so, “Saar wrote in X.” He is not obliged to clarify the submission of military leadership to the government’s decisions. “
Reports of Netanyahu – Zamir resorted also sparked reactions from opposition leader Yaur Lapid, who insisted that such disagreements should remain “hidden”. “IDF soldiers should not believe that a divided leadership is leading, that political leadership does not respect their commander, that he is selling them to make a front page,” Lapid wrote on X.
In order to put an end to the tension, after the end of the next steps in Gaza, Netanyahu’s office issued a statement in which he made it clear that “the IDFs are ready to implement any decision taken by the Ministerial Security”.
Movement comes in a climate of division
The announcement of the new strategy, even before it officially becomes, however, caused a deep division into an already divided state. As analysts point out, this move has been shaking memories from the distant 2005 when it was decided to leave Gaza and the construction of the safe fence, and it is coming as more and more accusing Netanyahu and his government of genocide.
It is indicative that an analyst at Yedioth Ahronoth has caused the wrath of Netanyahu’s supporters because he wrote about the possibility of Gaza’s possession that: “Homer will die, a large number of IDF soldiers will be killed, and there will be a serious problem of supply – about 1 million in the city. At present, Israel simply has no legalization to even continue to fight in Gaza or establish a city of refugees on its ruins. “
Earlier, left -wing MP Ofer Cassif was forcibly driven outside the Kneset hall while talking to Vima because he dared to read an excerpt from an interview by well -known writer David Grosman in La Repubblica in which I used to say ” With people who were there, I can no longer avoid it. ” Cassif’s position was interrupted by Likund MPs, arguing that “this excerpt is made” and that “it cannot say” genocide “here”.
