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.

Spain Condemns Israeli Settler Violence

The Spanish government strongly condemned violence carried out by Israeli colonists in the occupied West Bank, saying the continued attacks against Palestinians are being committed with impunity.

In a statement, the Spanish government said the recent wave of escalating colonist violence included another indiscriminate attack that killed four Palestinian civilians according to WAFA.

Madrid called on the Israeli government to take the necessary measures to de-escalate the situation and ensure those responsible for the attacks are brought to justice. It also urged Israel to halt its settlement expansion policies and end the protection of those carrying out attacks against Palestinian civilians.

The Spanish government stressed that Israel, as the occupying power in the Palestinian territory, is obliged to fulfil its legal responsibilities and take concrete steps to prevent further attacks.

Spain also reaffirmed its commitment to the implementation of a two-state solution, saying it would continue to hold accountable all parties whose actions undermine the prospects and viability of achieving that solution.
