The New York Times’ account of the desperation of Israeli commanders regarding the realization of war goals in Gaza
| An American newspaper in a report quoting the commanders of the Israeli army wrote that they now consider it impossible to achieve their 2 war goals in Gaza at the same time. |
according to the international group Tasnim News Agency, a newspaper The American reported that after more than 100 days of the war, Israel’s little progress in destroying Hamas has caused doubts among the senior army commanders about the possibility of achieving the main goals of the Gaza war, namely the destruction of Hamas and the release of Israeli prisoners.
According to this report, Israel’s progress in Gaza has been slower than expected, and this has led Israeli commanders to admit in private circles that the release of more than 100 Israeli prisoners can only be achieved through diplomatic methods and not military will be possible.
In an interview with the New York Times, four of Israel’s senior military leaders said, on the condition of anonymity, that the simultaneous realization of the two goals of freeing prisoners and destroying Hamas are now two goals. They seem incompatible with each other.
Israeli generals have also said that in order to destroy Hamas, the Israeli army must engage in a long-term war, which will most likely result in the death of prisoners.
More than 100 Israeli prisoners were released in November under an agreement brokered by Qatar, but Hamas has said it will not release other prisoners. The New York Times wrote that the rest of the prisoners are believed to be held in the underground tunnel network of Hamas. He reported wide splits in the cabinet and said it was an “illusion” to have the notion that prisoners could be freed by military operations.
