Eisenkot: Netanyahu Fails in His Wars on Gaza, Lebanon and Iran

Despite the wars in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to achieve a decisive victory in any of them said Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Yesh Atid party.

He asserted that “alongside the remarkable military achievements, in the past two years and eight months, there has been no decisive political progress on any front,” Eisenkot told the Hebrew-language news outlet i24NEWS.

“The military achievements are evaporating due to political and personal constraints, and because of the prime minister’s approach of ‘one war after another,'” he said

“The goal of using military force is to improve the strategic situation for years to come, and this simply hasn’t happened,” he added.

In the interview, Eisenkot attacked Prime Minister Netanyahu and the extremist Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, arguing that Netanyahu’s relationship with US President Donald Trump “ties the hands of the Israeli army.”

Eisenkot accused Ben-Gvir of harboring a “fascist vision” and of “failing” in managing internal security.

He said that internal security had deteriorated under his leadership to the point where crime within the Arab community was comparable to that in Mexico and Colombia.

He described Ben-Gvir as “a man who walks around with a noose around his neck, unfit for Israeli public life.”

Eisenkot reiterated his refusal to join the “Together” alliance, which includes former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and opposition leader Yair Lapid according to Quds Press.

Former Jewish PM: Israel Has ‘Lost The United States…’

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Israel has “lost the United States” and the wider world, warning that the country’s international standing has reached an unprecedented low.

Speaking at Israel’s Security Concept Conference in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, Bennett said: “We’ve lost the United States, we’ve lost the world.”

His remarks were carried on Bennett’s official YouTube channel.

“We are at the most terrible low point of Israel’s standing in the world since the founding of the state,” he added.

Bennett accused the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of failing to achieve victories on multiple fronts.

“The Netanyahu government does not know how to win anywhere — not in Gaza, not in Lebanon. They are not winning anywhere,” he said.

The former premier also argued that Israel lacks an effective institution to counter what he described as influence campaigns targeting the country.

Bennett has emerged as a prominent challenger to Netanyahu ahead of Israel’s parliamentary elections, repeatedly criticizing the government’s management of the Gaza war and its handling of relations with Israel’s allies.

Israel has faced growing international criticism and isolation over its war on the Gaza Strip, where its army has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, displaced most of the population and devastated large parts of the enclave since October 2023. Anadolu

Khan al-Sultan Stands Proud in Jerusalem

Husnieh Ghanayem

Khan al-Sultan, also known as al-Wakalah, is a caravanserai located at the northern end of a covered alleyway leading north from Bab al-Silsila Street, near the eastern edge of the Goldsmiths’ Market Street, in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City. It is only a few hundred meters from the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In the 20th century, the caravanserai’s facilities were converted into shoe factories. At the beginning of the 21st century, the first floor was occupied by shops, warehouses, and small workshops run by Jerusalemites, while the second floor became a residence for dozens of families, housing approximately 120 people. The caravanserai suffers from neglect and a lack of restoration of its houses and buildings. It also suffers from overcrowding, as the Israeli occupation authorities prevent any expansion or construction.
