Former Israeli Commander: Netanyahu Is the Main Obstacle to Agreement
According to the English section of webangah news Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Shehab News Agency, Yisrael Ze’ev, former head of operations for the Israeli military, said the cabinet holds the army responsible for achieving victory in a war it itself prevents from ending.
He added that the Chief of Staff is forced to work with a cabinet that has no clear strategy.
Ze’ev stated that the certain confrontation between the Chief of Staff and political leadership reflects a collapse of trust between military commanders and political decision-makers.
He asserted that the Israeli cabinet sells Israelis an illusion of victory-one that neither involves defeating Hamas nor securing prisoner releases.
yisrael Ze’ev emphasized that the cabinet does not seek to achieve war objectives but merely aims to prolong it.
He further explained that by pursuing a policy based on starving Gaza, Israel has lost initiative and is heading toward political defeat.
