Israel stuck in Gaza and bleeding

The Israeli army’s former head of operations has criticized the continuing war in Gaza saying the regime is “stuck in Gaza and bleeding”. Major General Israel Ziv described the war as a “dire quagmire”.

Ziv, who previously led the Gaza Division, asserted that the war has become a source of political stability for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet, Al Jazeera reported. 

He suggested that Netanyahu might be prolonging the war to maintain his political position and delay his corruption trial, which could lead to imprisonment.

Ziv added that after a year of what he called the longest and most exhausting war in Israel’s history, the regime finds itself trapped in a continuous security crisis with no end in sight.

He noted that the situation is not improving and lacks a clear path towards resolution.

He emphasized that the war, which Netanyahu claimed was on the verge of victory six months ago, now appears endless.
