Important confessions of Netanyahu’s cabinet minister about the Gaza war

Gadi Eysenkot, a member of Israel’s war cabinet, criticized the way Benjamin Netanyahu is conducting the war, according to the report of Fars News Agency, describing the idea of ​​a complete victory over Hamas as unrealistic and “storytelling”.

In an interview with Channel 12 of Israel TV, Eisenkot, like “Ehud Barak”, the former prime minister of the regime, called for early elections in occupied Palestine.

He said in this interview: “Anyone who talks about the complete defeat of [Hamas] is not telling the truth. That is why we should not tell stories… Today the situation in Gaza is such that our war goals have not yet been achieved. After that, it was broadcast that Benjamin Netanyahu promised “complete victory over Hamas” and rejected the idea of ​​leaving power before the end of the war.

While many analysts say that Israel has so far failed to achieve its war goals in Gaza, Netanyahu said yesterday: “We will eliminate the evil of Hamas.”

The Prime Minister of Israel also said: “Israel under my leadership will not give up on achieving a decisive victory against Hamas, and this cannot be doubted.”

He continued: “We will continue to fight with all our forces until we achieve our goals through military action. Stopping the war before reaching our goals will harm Israel for several generations to come.” He agreed to join Netanyahu’s war cabinet.

Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas on October 7th (15th of Mehr) in response to more than seven decades of occupation of Palestine and nearly two decades of siege of Gaza and imprisonment and torture of thousands of Palestinians called operation It started the “Al-Aqsa Storm”.

This operation was one of the deadliest attacks against this regime. Hamas fighters penetrated into the occupied territories at several points of the border fences, attacked villages and besides killing a large number of Israelis, captured a number of them.

Zionist regime In response to this operation, it launched heavy attacks against Gaza and placed this area under a complete siege. Despite this, as analysts say, the al-Aqsa operation has imposed a major security-political defeat on Israel.

Israeli regime officials have declared their military goal in this war to destroy Hamas. Meanwhile, many analysts have questioned the possibility of realizing this goal, even in occupied Palestine.

In response to the question whether the current Israeli officials are telling the truth, Eisenkot said: “No.” He then criticized Benjamin Netanyahu for not accepting responsibility for the October 7 intelligence, military and security failure.

Eisenkot said: “I am now at the stage and age to look at this leader or that leader with closed eyes. I judge them by the decisions they make and the way they lead the country.”

Eisenkott noted that failures in the chain of command “do not absolve him of responsibility.” His comments are likely referring to Netanyahu’s statement that security officials did not warn him about the impending attack by Hamas. Netanyahu also claimed that all security officials had assured him that Hamas had been contained.

Eisenkot also criticized Netanyahu for not having a plan for Gaza after the end of the war. “You have to show your leadership in the ability to tell the truth to the people and to draw a road map,” he said. who are now in the field has become more limited… We need to think about the next step.”

Eisenkot also said that it is necessary to hold early elections in the coming months in order to restore public confidence in the cabinet. Israel should be reassessed.

He stated: “It is necessary to bring the Israeli voters to the polls in the next few months to restore their trust because there is no trust now.”

Eysenkot’s request for early elections coincides with the note of “Ehud Barak”, the former prime minister of Israel, in Haaretz magazine, who also made the same request.

In that note, Barak, while admitting that Hamas was not defeated in Gaza, called for early elections in occupied Palestine.

Former Prime Minister of Israel In that note, he pointed to the despair and frustration of the residents of occupied Palestine and wrote: “In Israel, 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.”

Barak then recalled that Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet has prevented the discussion of “the day after the war” for the past three months and wrote: “When there is no predetermined political goal, the army is able to optimize the probability of victory.” will not be. 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. We have thrown it.”

Stating that this type of behavior reminds Israel’s security, Netanyahu and the far-right members of his cabinet held him responsible for this situation.

He also wrote: “The person standing between Israel and reaching a possible solution is Netanyahu and his extortionists, namely Itmar Ben Gower 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 must stop.”

Eisenkot also criticized Netanyahu and said: “The country of Israel, as a democracy, should ask itself after these serious events, how do we want to deal with leaders who are so disgraceful? They have led us to defeat, should we continue?” He said in response to Netanyahu’s claim that holding elections in the middle of the war will harm public unity. “The public’s lack of trust in his government It is not a less important event.”

In another part of this interview, Eisenkot claimed that on October 11, Israel was on the verge of attacking Hezbollah, but he and Benny Gantz were able to convince the members of the war cabinet. Do not do this for now.

“I think our presence there prevented us from committing a glaring strategic error,” he stated. If a decision was made to attack Lebanon, we would have realized Yahya Sinwar’s strategic vision of creating a regional war.” In Syria, Iraq, Iran, we were bringing Hamas together, which would have caused the greatest damage to us since the creation of Israel.”
