As Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip continue, various statements and assessments are occupying the agenda.
One of those who criticized Israel’s attacks was Brik, who spoke on a local radio station. Brik criticized the Netanyahu government, saying, “There is a huge disgrace happening in Gaza, and Netanyahu is ignoring the problems.” He also stated that the Israeli army knows that it is impossible to defeat Hamas and that soldiers are risking their lives in the process.
The news regarding the extension of the term of the Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi also attracted attention. It was claimed that some Israeli generals supported ending the war in Gaza instead of ending Hamas militarily and called for a ceasefire. However, it was stated that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the army were committed to the goal of ending Hamas militarily.
The Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari’s statement that it was not possible to destroy Hamas militarily and that the goals were merely to mislead the public led to controversy. Hagari’s statements drew reactions from the leaders in power, and the Israeli army had to emphasize that they were committed to the war goals.
