In a exceptional public gap between the region’s political and military command, the Jewish military’s chief spokesman on Wednesday made an apparent challenge to the stated purpose of destroying the Hamas militant group in Gaza.
Israel will continue to fight Hamas until its defense and governing abilities in the Arab country are eliminated, according to Prime Minister Netanyahu. However, with no clear-cut plan in sight for wartime action in the seventh month of the war, frustration has grown. ” This enterprise of destroying Hamas, making Hamas dissipate- it’s just throwing dust in the eyes of the public”, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the defense director, told Israel’s Channel 13 Television. ” Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a celebration. It’s rooted in the people’s souls:” Anyone who believes we can eradicate Hamas is wrong.”
The prime minister’s security government “has defined the death of Hamas ‘ military and governing capabilities as one of the objectives of the war,” according to Netanyahu’s business. The Jewish military, of training, is committed to this”. The military immediately issued a explanation, saying it had been working on this” throughout the conflict, day and night, and will continue to do so.” It stated that it was” committed to achieving the objectives of the battle as defined by the case.” Hagari’s responses, it said, “referred to the death of Hamas as an philosophy and an idea”.
There have already been clear indications of dissatisfaction with how the battle was handled. Benny Gantz, an ex- defense captain, withdrew from battle government this month. Netanyahu expressed disapproval of the army’s decision to place a “tactical delay” in Rafah for philanthropic aid earlier this week.
