Analysts said during discussions in the Israeli media that achieving a military victory in… Gaza stripIt seems a very difficult matter, pointing out that the resistance taught Israel a lesson on the 7th of last October, and that the only possible victory currently is the departure of the Prime Minister. Benjamin Netanyahu.
Former police chief Dan Halutz said that this war will not have any victory, and will only bear loss, stressing that the only victory is for Netanyahu to leave his job, and “we must push the Israelis towards achieving this goal.”
In this context, Raz Matalon – a family member of some of the prisoners – said that the Israelis lost a lot because of what he called “the state of blindness in which we were living.”
He added, “We have passed this stage and things have become transparent and clear. We do not trust the blind defenses that we trusted in the past.”
He continued, “I want to say something simple, which is that moving forward sometimes requires taking steps back. This could be the duty for reorganization,” stressing, “We must think about returning the kidnapped (prisoners) before anything else.”
They taught us a lesson
As for a member The Knesset Almog Cohen said that Israel “forgot that the enemy (the resistance) follows, listens and studies,” adding, “What we do is not done by a conscript on his first day of conscription.”
Cohen said, “We have become arrogant and have turned our nose up at hearing the sayings of the strongest army and the superpower,” adding, “I do not believe in these words. I have learned a lesson in humility.”
Cohen continued, “You are in the middle of this jungle, and if you believe that you are the strongest, others will prove to you otherwise. If you believe that you are the wisest, others will prove to you that you are stupid, and if you believe that you are the most developed, they will prove to you in primitive ways that you are not, as happened in The seventh of last October.
The Knesset member confirmed that there are strategic problems that require treatment, adding, “But the only thing required now is achieving victory.”
Troops operate on a limited basis
As MK said about Likud Party Danny Danon, said that Israel is ready to pay the price, and because it proved this in the past when it said to stop the fighting (temporary truce), stressing that he was “concerned by the statements of the Israeli Chief of Staff.”
Danon confirmed that the Israeli forces “are working to a very limited extent in Khan Yunis, and we have not reached Salah al-Din Street in the city of Rafah at all, and the Rafah crossing is not under our control,” adding, “I think that the talk about return (the return of settlers to Gaza cover) Too early”.
Aviv Bushiniski, a former media advisor to Netanyahu, said, “I thought we were very close to destruction Islamic resistance movement (Hamas), as they told us, but analysts are currently saying that it will take time.”
He added, “The Chief of Staff spoke last November about Israel being close to destroying or even annihilating Hamas in northern Gaza. Have we succeeded in this?” He wondered, “Do they know exactly or approximately even the whereabouts of Yahya Sinwar, as the Prime Minister said?”
Bushinski concluded by saying, “Two weeks ago, the Prime Minister said that the end of Hamas is near, but where are we now? What about the soldiers in the field?” He added, “We must know what the end is, and reassure the families who fear that their children will be killed, not to mention that after we… We finish Gaza and will head to the north (Lebanon).”
