Its being put this way: “A new clash is developing between Netanyahu and Hagari” as one blogger put it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is angered by spokesman of the Israeli army Daniel Hagari who told the American ABC News channel that Israel would still be fighting Hamas five years from now.
Later Israel’s Channel 14 reported that Netanyahu strongly criticized Hagari in a closed meet of the Israeli government.
The clash between the two is trending on social media. Another blogger put it this way saying Hagari has “admitted to the American media that his army was unable to eliminate Hamas no matter how long lasted.
His comments are being widely distributed. Hagari told ABC’s Mike Gutman: “Will you and me be talking five years from now about Hamas as a terror organization in Gaza? The answer is yes.”
Israel Hayom said Hagari presented a candid assessment and it contrasts sharply with the “optimistic rhetoric” of Netanyahu “who continues to promise a swift defeat of Hamas.” The paper said Hagari’s comments suggest “a more complex and challenging road ahead for the Israeli forces in Gaza.”
The widening rift between Hagari and Netanyahu is increasing especially because the comments of the Rear Admiral about his earlier comments last month about the impossible task of destroying Hamas, quoted as saying:
“This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear – it’s simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public,” he said. “Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people – whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong.”

Six-year-old Hikmat Badr died Monday, because of malnutrition and Israeli-induced starvation. He is just one of many children in Gaza to have died over the nine months of the Israeli genocide.
His frail body eventually gave up and he died in Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al Balah in central Gaza with news of his death all over the social media.
Hikmat was brought down here with his uncle and mother from the north of Gaza seeking food whilst his father stayed up north.
“We came here “in the hope of getting the necessary medical care and essential nourishment for Hikmat,” his uncle Ahmad Badr told Anadolu.
Badr said the Israeli army told him there would be food down here, but when they came there was surprised to find there was nothing.
Last month, Dr. Husam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, announced the tragic deaths of four children due to severe malnutrition as reported by the Turkish news agency.
Abu Safiya revealed that the hospital had witnessed over 250 cases of malnutrition among children within just two weeks.
“Gaza faces a genuine health catastrophe, one that begins with children but could ultimately affect adults as well,” he warned.
One wrote “the death of the child Hikmat Badr due to malnutrition and dehydration, as a result of the siege and aggression of the Israeli occupation supported by the United States, Britain, Germany and France on the Gaza Strip. Do not forget, do not forgive.”
Yet another emphasized in Spanish “the Palestinian boy, Hikmat Badr, aged 6, died of hunger …due to the policy of extermination by starvation carried out by the Zionist army. In the last 48 hours, 2 Palestinian children have died from malnutrition… but you won’t see it on TV.”
