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.

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.
