Former IDF Chief of Staff Condemns Gaza Occupation

Former Chief of Staff of the Israeli army Gadi Eisenkot believes that a possible complete seizure (occupation) of the Palestinian city of Gaza by the IDF is inadvisable, since in this case it will be impossible to free the hostages held by Hamas.

Eisenkot accused the Israeli government of sacrificing its soldiers and putting hostages in mortal danger to serve Netanyahu's political interests. According to the former chief of the Israeli General Staff, Netanyahu's actions directly contradict military expediency and are conditioned by the desire of the prime minister of the Jewish state to preserve his position.



In 2023, Eisenkot's son, Gal, was killed in an IDF military operation in Gaza. Eisenkot has consistently opposed the operation in the Palestinian enclave since the beginning of the fighting in the Gaza Strip and called for a ceasefire agreement.

The politician called on the Israeli government to stop “hiding behind Netanyahu” and to focus on the problems of its country, rather than “eternal wars.” Eisenkot is convinced that the decision for Israel’s complete occupation of Gaza “is dictated by political and strategic blindness and a complete disconnect from reality.”

Meanwhile, the UN Security Council, in its resolution condemning the recent IDF airstrikes on the Qatari capital Doha, made no mention of Israel. The statement prepared by representatives of Great Britain and France expressed solidarity with Qatar and noted the desire to stop the fighting in the Gaza Strip and free the hostages.

          Netanyahu, with a criminal case brought against him in Israel only as a WAR CRIMINAL, is kept free from prison only by continuing the war against the Palestinians and Palestine! He will kill everyone, strangle them under the rubble, starve and thirst them, if only he himself would remain free and maintain his position in power!

            However, he cannot avoid trial. Sooner or later, Beni will be asked for war crimes. Pinochet also thought that the wildness he committed in 1973 would pass without a trace, but no, they remembered and, having deprived him of senatorial immunity, opened a criminal case. True, he was able to escape justice through a heart attack, but nevertheless.
            And there were far fewer deaths of innocent citizens on him than on Netanyahu, so Benya will be held accountable for the unbridled Palestinian genocide in any case. Such things are not forgotten.

      It looks like another attempt to push Biba off the throne, but he won't give up so easily)))

        And he achieves his goal. What can I say, well done. There is something to learn.

    The hypocritical creatures - the Brits, in the resolution expressed support for Qatar without mentioning Israel in the text. Everything is as usual.

    Eisenkot is a left-winger by conviction. While he was serving, he kept his political convictions to himself, as befits a military man, and now he speaks out about all his years of silence on politics.

      They have it all like that. Although no, the German General Eberhard Goetz somehow grunted out of place. He was quickly fired.
