Israeli political analyst Yossi Hadar, in the newspaper “Maariv”, said that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu He lost the war to the Islamic Resistance Movement. (agitation), and instead of signing a prisoner exchange deal with her, he is trying to drag Israel to war of attrition Keep him in power.
The analyst harshly criticized Netanyahu for trying to dismiss the defense minister. Yoav Galantdescribing it as a political move to preserve his position, ignoring the military failures in Hamas attack Which occurred on October 7, 2023.
The writer began his article by referring to the operation attributed to Israel of blowing up wireless devices in Lebanon andSyria Which resulted in the killing of 32 Lebanese and the wounding of hundreds, according to the latest statistics.
He added, “If the attribution of this operation to Israel is correct, it reveals another aspect of Israel's enormous military capabilities, but at the same time it may bring us closer to a real war with Hezbollahwhile continuing War in GazaVision Houthis Attacks on Israel, Iranian threats continue, with growing operations in West Bank And inside Israel.
The analyst accused Netanyahu of deliberately prolonging the war for political reasons, ignoring the serious security implications for Israel, and described him as the most failed prime minister in Israel, and that he “is leading a path of political baseness and exhaustion and implementing a Machiavellian plot aimed at tightening control over the country by pushing the public to despair.”
He stressed that Netanyahu's escalation in the north is “the way Netanyahu seeks to maintain his rule, not in order to do something beneficial for the citizens of Israel, but only for his personal and political interests, just so he can continue to exhaust us.”
Political maneuver
The writer then went on to assert that Netanyahu's attempt to dismiss Galant is part of a political maneuver aimed at strengthening his power, rather than addressing the military failures that were evident in the October 7 attack, which puts Israel in a weak position in the face of increasing threats.
“All this does not prevent Netanyahu from hatching a plot to overthrow the defense minister at this critical moment for state security, and in the midst of a war that could expand,” he said.
Netanyahu's move was interpreted as a bid to replace his defense minister because of his opposition to the Haredi conscription law insisted upon by the Orthodox parties, in exchange for appointing the head of the right-wing Israel party G.Daun Sa'ar Because the latter will pass this law, referring to the volatility of Sa'ar's positions, who was previously quoted as saying, “If you want Netanyahu as prime minister, don't vote for me.”
Hadar also denied Netanyahu's followers' marketing of the reason for Galant's dismissal as a “weak leftist,” saying that Galant himself offered, just 4 days after the October 7 attack, to attack Hezbollah as a preemptive move, but Netanyahu refused, in a state of panic over the events.
The writer reminded that Netanyahu is the one who divided Israel by leading “an attempted coup against the judicial system that he created before October 7,” and he is the one who brought upon Israel “the catastrophe of October 7,” and now he is dragging another catastrophe by dragging Israel into a war of attrition.
“Instead of waging a short and intense war, he chose a dangerous and failed war of attrition against all strategic logic, and dragged Israel into the worst state it has been since its founding, because what matters is only the logic of political survival,” he said.
