Since Iran was hit by several "symbolic" drone attacks, the clouds of the Iran-Israel conflict have temporarily moved away from the skies over the Middle East. Netanyahu, who had his hands free, began to think about attacking the Rafah port again. According to CCTV News, the Israeli troops who had previously withdrawn from Khan Younis are gathering in the direction of Rafah, and they are preparing to "evacuate" civilians before launching an offensive, and the entire combat operation is expected to last for six weeks.
Israeli Defense Minister Gallant
I remember when the Israeli army retreated, their defense minister, Gallant, said that Hamas, as a military organization, no longer exists. Now that they are attacking Rafah again, it shows that these high-ranking Israeli military and political officials are really liars and have not said a word of truth. At the critical moment when the Israeli army was about to resume the war, the head of Israeli military intelligence, Major General Haliwa, and the commander of Israel's Central Command, Fox, submitted their resignations on the same day, citing deep guilt for failing to stop Hamas's "Al-Aqsa flood operation" on October 7, 2023, and must be held accountable.
What do you say about this reason? I personally reserve my opinion, and you can have your own opinions. From October 7 last year to the present, a full half a year has passed, and these two people can choose to resign at any time, but they chose to run away collectively at such a sensitive time, and it is impossible to say that there is no reason behind it. Soon, the Israeli media found the reason, Netanyahu and Gallant, and there was infighting again.
Israel's internal strife has intensified
Recently, Netanyahu hinted at a cabinet ministerial meeting that every time he had a meeting with the Mossad, Director Simbert, and Gallant, the content would be leaked, and he said that I know that neither the Mossad nor Director Simbert would do such a thing, so who leaked the secret?
The point is that this was in public, and the participants included not only many senior ministers of the wartime cabinet, but also officials of the Department of Defense, Gallant's subordinates. Subsequently, members of Netanyahu's Likud party began to "mock" Gallant. The seemingly irreconcilable contradictions between the two were put on the table.
War and infighting go hand in hand
In fact, Netanyahu and Gallant do not deal with each other, as early as 2023, there will be signs of "judicial reform" when he engages in "judicial reform". The so-called "judicial reform" simply means that the right-wing forces led by Netanyahu want to centralize power, but centrist politicians and the military led by Gallant and Benny Gantz strongly oppose it.
After that, the state of the two people is that they are not in harmony with each other, and they have to quarrel a few words if they have nothing to do. But with the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Netanyahu had to send troops, and Gallant entered the wartime cabinet. At the beginning of the Gaza War, because of Israel's unanimous public opinion, Netanyahu temporarily suppressed internal differences, but as the war went badly and the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza continued to be exposed, Netanyahu became the target of public criticism, and even the United States abstained from voting on the recent draft resolution on the Gaza ceasefire.
Members of Israel's wartime cabinet visited the United States without authorization
Against this backdrop, the other two bigwigs of the wartime cabinet, Benny Gantz and Gallant, visited the United States successively to enlist the support of the White House, and in the process, it is unknown whether Biden has frankly confessed his dissatisfaction with Netanyahu or made any assurances. In short, the current situation in Israel is that the war is cowering, infighting and punching hard, and the resignation of the two senior military generals is just the beginning, and it is not known how much chaos will be caused by the fighting methods of the Netanyahu faction and the Gallant faction.
