Military expert Dr. Nidal Abu Zeid said Washington trusts what Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant says rather than the utterings of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Because of this, it will not allow his dismissal at this critical time after 347 days of the extermination war on Gaza.
Disagreements
Abu Zeid added to Jordan24 the ongoing disagreements between Netanyahu and Galant confirms the structure of the occupation army is eroding. It shows Netanyahu’s move to dismiss Galant is linked to the latter’s view there is a need to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu and the ruling right however, see stopping the military onslaught on Gaza now would be an unacceptable defeat.
The military and strategic expert pointed out “all indicators support the option of the dismissal of Galant infavor of the proposed alternative, which is the appointment of Gideon Sa’ar,” to take his place. But “if Galant, who has a military background, has failed to achieve any noteworthy achievement in Gaza, how will Sa’ar succeed,” he asks.
Changing circumstances
Regarding the possibile launching of a military operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, Abu Zeid believes all circumstances indicate Israel is unable to launch a large-scale ground military operation against Hezbollah.
He added if it did so, it would be an ill-considered military adventure, noting the occupation army, after its major losses in Gaza, is now unable to launch a successful military operation “at least for the time being”.
Abu Zeid added that the statements of the head of Hamas Yahya Sinwar, confirms that the resistance, after 347 days, remains cohesive. This is in contrast to a state of disintegration shown by the media discourse of the Israeli military.
Can of worms
It shows the army in a complicated situation between a northern front it is unable to control, an intractable Gaza front and a new front in the West Bank that may lead to a security deterioration among Israel’s Arab population inside the Green Line, in addition to the Houthi penetration that has taken out Israeli deterrence from a distance of 2000 kilometers away.
