(Archyde.com, Jerusalem, 24th) Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to media pressure on the government in its operations against the Palestinian Islamist organization Hamas, issuing a statement emphasizing that he and his defense and military leaders The goals are exactly the same.
Benjamin Netanyahu is the longest-serving prime minister in Israel’s history. After Hamas launched a raid on the 7th, his already declining approval rating plummeted. The raid launched by Hamas killed about 1,400 people, making it the deadliest day in the 75 years since the founding of the State of Israel.
As expectations grow that Israel will launch ground operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Israel’s largest newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth yesterday published an article criticizing the government, saying There is a “crisis of confidence” between Netanyahu and the military leadership.
The article reads: “This severely hinders the need to focus on the war and make decisions, including painful decisions. Israel currently needs effective, mission-oriented leadership.”
The newspaper compared the current war to the “Yom Kippur War” (Yom Kippur War) in 1973, when Egyptian and Syrian attacks caught the Israeli army by surprise, but “New News” stated that the Israeli leaders 50 years ago Ability to restore confidence and win ultimate victory.
Netanyahu’s office issued a statement last night along with Israel’s defense minister and chief of staff, saying they were working together and calling on the media to avoid “false reporting that will only damage our unity and strength.”
“There is complete trust between Prime Minister Netanyahu, the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff, with clear and consistent goals,” the statement said.
Heavy Israeli air strikes and shelling in Gaza have killed more than 5,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities, and have swarmed troops around the densely populated enclave.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Daniel Hagari said today that the military is “prepared and determined” for the next phase of the war and is only awaiting instructions from the government.
He said Israel was learning from U.S. experience in the Middle East, but “our war is on our borders, not thousands of miles away from Israel,” adding that he expected the coming fighting to last weeks.
Hagari said Egypt plays a key role in negotiations for the release of hostages taken to Gaza, which he said is a top priority for Israel.
However, the United States is increasing pressure to suspend the invasion. Central News Agency (translation)
