Trots motstånd från den militära ledningen har Netanyahu drivit igenom sin vilja att fortsätta kriget i Gaza, och som första steg erövra Gaza City. I dagsläget har Israel kontroll över 75% av Gaza. Nästan hela befolkningen på ca 2 miljoner lever i områden som ännu inte ockuperas av Israel. Chefen för armén säger att Netanyahus plan mer eller mindre kommer att leda till katastrof för alla inblandade parter men Netanyahu och ministrarna som stöder honom kör på ändå.
Netanyahu har varit en lysande politiker under många år men enligt min mening har han totalt förlorat greppet under den här valperioden. Stora misstag efter varandra och inget spelöga kvar.
Att inte beakta arméchefens varningar är oansvarsfullt!
Att inte beakta omvärldens reaktion sätter Israel i en mycket besvärlig situation.
Kraven som måste uppfyllas för att kriget skall avslutas är i och för sig vettiga och flera av kraven har stöd från omvärlden. Men det sista stödet förlorar Israel nog nu.
Tyskland t.ex. meddelade att de stoppar vapenexporten till Israel.
Bucking IDF warnings, security cabinet approves Netanyahu plan to conquer Gaza City
"...During the 10-hour meeting that began at 6 p.m. on Thursday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir expressed his opposition to Netanyahu’s proposal.
“The lives of the hostages will be in danger if we go ahead with this plan to occupy Gaza. There is no way to guarantee that we will not harm them. Our forces are worn out, the military tools need maintenance, and there are humanitarian and sanitary [concerns regarding the Palestinian population],” Channel 12 quoted the IDF chief as having said..."
"...The statement from Netanyahu’s office noted that a majority of cabinet members backed a list of five principles that Israel will demand be met before it agrees to end the war with Hamas: (1) The terror group’s disarmament; (2) the return of all 50 remaining hostages — 20 of whom are believed to be alive; (3) the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip; (4) Israeli security control over the Gaza Strip; and (5) the existence of an alternative civilian government that is not Hamas or the Palestinian Authority..."

‘A disaster’: Opposition, countries, families of hostages blast Gaza City takeover plan
Opposition figures charged that the step would lead to the deaths of Israeli captives and soldiers.
Opposition Leader Yair Lapid called the move “a disaster that will lead to many more disasters,” in a post on X, adding that it was made in “complete contradiction to the opinion of the military and security ranks.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich “dragged” Netanyahu “into a move that will take months, lead to the deaths of the hostages, the killing of many soldiers, cost tens of billions to the Israeli taxpayer, and lead to a political collapse,” Lapid added.
“This is exactly what Hamas wanted: for Israel to be trapped in the field without a goal, without defining the picture of the day after, in a useless occupation that no one understands where it is leading,” he said.
Yisrael Beytenu party chairman and former defense minister Avigdor Liberman said that the decision “proves that life-and-death decisions are being made in opposition to security considerations and the war’s objectives.”
“The prime minister of October 7 is once again sacrificing the security of Israeli citizens for the sake of his seat,” he added.
