Netanyahu faces backlash from army veterans over massive IOF losses in Gaza

Former leaders at both political and military echelons in “Israel” are currently engaged in heated discourse over the objectives outlined by Benjamin Netanyahu’s government regarding the ongoing war on Gaza and the issue of prisoners held by the resistance.

Former Deputy Chief of Staff, Ya’ir Golan, asserted to Maariv newspaper that “Netanyahu’s government has not defined clear and realistic objectives for the military to achieve.”

“Officers and soldiers are fighting in a war without clear objectives,” he said.

In a related context, the former head of military intelligence in the occupying Israeli army, Aharon Ze’evi, criticized Netanyahu’s discourse on the war, stating that “the declared objectives to destroy Hamas are unrealistic.”

He emphasized, “The duty is to bring back the captives,” adding, “The war cannot end before their return.”

Observers of Israeli media note a growing impact of the deaths of IOF officers and soldiers on the national dynamics of the occupying state. Israeli media reported yesterday on a disagreement between the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Minister of the Economy, Nir Barkat.

Barkat, during a government meeting, reportedly stated, “Netanyahu sends soldiers to die in booby-trapped buildings like ducks,” claiming that “reducing aerial and artillery bombardment makes it easier to kill officers and soldiers.”

In the past hours, the Israeli occupation forces acknowledged the death of 17 officers and soldiers, marking the highest daily toll since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza.

Recent developments in the war have led to a surge in voices critical of the management of the government.

Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called for a “halt to the war and the return of prisoners from Hamas.”

Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak deemed it necessary for Israelis to “create a mechanism to replace Netanyahu and Itamar Ben-Gvir as they are unfit to manage the war.”Former leaders at both political and military echelons in “Israel” are currently engaged in heated discourse over the objectives outlined by Benjamin Netanyahu’s government regarding the ongoing war on Gaza and the issue of prisoners held by the resistance.
