Amid damaging division within “Israel”, Benny Gantz threatens Netanyahu with a thorough examination of the entity’s failures in the near future.
Israeli war cabinet Minister Benny Gantz reportedly opposed current public calls for the replacement of Israeli occupation’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the war on Gaza, deeming such demands as “nothing less than crazy.”
However, Gantz acknowledged that a thorough examination of those responsible for the failures leading to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood will be necessary in the future.
It is worth noting that Gantz is one of the prominent opposition figures to Netanyahu and a vocal critic of his judicial reform plans, however, he joined the war cabinet established over the aggression on Gaza.
This is happening as the Israeli Prime Minister and his army are at loggerheads on multiple issues, most notably the way he is handling the war on Gaza.
Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth has lately reported that there currently is a crisis of confidence between Netanyahu and the Israeli army, adding that Netanyahu is angry at the army, which he blames for everything that has happened. It is worth noting that Netanyahu has been reportedly collecting files that would see blame for the October 7 intelligence failure dumped on other officials amid Israeli discontent.
The Israeli Prime Minister had recently tried to absolve himself of the responsibility for the massive intelligence failure on October 7, as he said he received no warning regarding Hamas operations from either of the two intelligence apparatuses.
A week prior, Netanyahu poked fun at his intelligence chiefs, claiming that they never informed him that Hamas was organizing a large-scale strike. However, after Gantz and other officials requested a correction, Netanyahu eventually apologized.
In short, internal discontent is pushing the war cabinet to produce results that would bring back the alleged Israeli deterrence against the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, while these results might bring the region to an all-out war and further undermine what is now considered the most degrading army in the world for killing over 4,000 children, bombing hospitals, and other war crimes. The two factors have put the Israeli military and political command in a state of paralysis, as options to redeem the trust of settlers are extremely limited.
