Zionist Analysts: Military Pressure Won’t Force Hamas to Surrender
According to a report by webangah News Agency, citing the Palestinian Information centre, Isaac Brik, a retired general and former senior commander of the Zionist regime’s army, sharply criticized the current military and political situation. He warned that the regime’s army lacks readiness for war-both defensively and offensively-and faces risky gaps, particularly in its ground forces.
Brik explicitly stated that the Zionist regime’s current political and military leadership-particularly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right cabinet ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich-are trapped in religious delusions and extremism disconnected from security realities.
He added that over the past two decades, chronic shortages in funding, manpower, logistical equipment, and maintenance services have severely degraded combat readiness.
The general also declared a complete failure to achieve stated objectives in Israel’s war against Hamas. He cautioned that prolonging hostilities would only deepen setbacks while worsening crises across occupied territories-from internal security to economic conditions and healthcare systems.
Brik further condemned Tel Aviv’s leadership for prioritizing personal political interests over national security: “this approach is pushing Israel toward collapse at an alarming pace.”
He specifically warned against messianic extremism among some Zionist leaders who rely on religious texts rather than battlefield realities: “This dangerous ideology threatens not just our military but all of Israeli society.”
Tzvi Barel, another Zionist analyst writing for Haaretz acknowledged Tel Aviv’s strategic failures against Hamas. Contrary to initial assessments by Israeli officials massive military pressure hasn’t forced Hamas into surrender despite widespread destruction in Gaza.
