Barak: Hamas is not defeated; Gantz considers leaving the cabinet

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, “Ehud Barak”, former Prime Minister of Israel, in a note in “Haaretz” newspaper, while admitting that Hamas was not defeated in Gaza, called for early elections in occupied Palestine.

Barak wrote at the beginning of this note: “It has been 15 weeks since the war. On the field, we witness an inspiring display of courage and sacrifice. In Israel, however, we are witnessing despair and the feeling that despite the achievements of the Israeli army, Hamas has not been defeated and the chances of returning the hostages are decreasing.”

1- That Israel must destroy the ability of Hamas to rule Gaza and threaten Israel, 2- That Israel has no interest in staying in Gaza permanently, 3- That the people of Gaza are not going anywhere, and 4- That it is necessary after it is destroyed The ability of Hamas to be a responsible institution for the permanent governance of the Gaza Strip should be determined.” Barak further described the American support to Israel as the “cornerstone” of this regime’s security and wrote: The United States restrains Hezbollah and Iran, supplies us with weapons, vetoes Security Council resolutions, and supports us at the Hague Tribunal. According to this former Israeli official, Washington He proposed a plan to Tel Aviv last month, which is still on the table. In explaining this plan, he writes: “After destroying the capabilities of Hamas, a force composed of Arabs should be formed to govern Gaza for a limited period of time. During this interim period, Gaza will be under the control of a strengthened self-governing organization.” It is a government.

He further warned that showing more hesitation on the part of Israel will reduce the chance of success of this plan.

Barak then wrote, recalling that Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet has prevented the discussion of “the day after the war” for the past three months: “When there is no predetermined political goal The army will not be able to optimize the probability of victory. In the absence of a realistic goal, we will find ourselves stuck in the Gaza swamp, while simultaneously entering the war in Lebanon and the West Bank, losing American support and jeopardizing the success of the Abraham Accords and the peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan. Barak said that this type of behavior reminds Israel’s security and blamed Netanyahu and the far-right members of his cabinet for this situation.

He writes: “The person standing between Israel and reaching a possible solution is Netanyahu and his extortionists, namely Itmar Ben Goyer and Bezalel Smutrich.” They prevent Israel from pursuing its own interests and enter into coordination with the United States, and they trouble Israel for advancing their own interests. This has to stop.”

Barak by Netanyahu knows that handing over the administration of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority means that he will lose the support of Benguir and Stmotrich, and this means His cabinet will be completed sooner.

He has suggested holding early elections: “Israel needs different officials, early elections should be held.”

Barak announced in another part of this note that Benny Gantz and Idi Eisenkot are considering leaving Netanyahu’s war cabinet, while this cabinet still has important decisions to make.

The former Prime Minister of Israel suggested to Gantz and Eysenkot not to leave the cabinet for now and instead set a date for early elections.

Many Israeli experts have already predicted that if Benny Gantz leaves Netanyahu’s cabinet, this cabinet will not last and will collapse.
