A former Israeli official and commentator has criticized Netanyahu's strategy, saying that the war on Gaza will stop for four reasons, bringing "Israel" closer to collapse.

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, "inadvertently serves the interests of the Iranians and Hezbollah, just as he previously did with Hamas," former Israeli occupation forces ombudsman Major General Itzhak Brik wrote in an article for Israeli news website Maariv.

He said that Netanyahu is "the gift from the Israeli government to its enemies," from Iran to Hezbollah. Brik explained that the failing policies of Netanyahu have benefited the Axis of Resistance. 

The former official said that he met with the Israeli prime minister six times since the war on Gaza began, adding that he "knows very well that Hamas cannot be eradicated." Despite this Netanyahu has insisted that the Israeli regime will continue to fight Hamas until its complete elimination. 

He said that Netanyahu has taken advantage of such outlandish remarks to spur on far-right Israeli settlers and officials' support for his government. Brik stressed that these extremists gave him the "legitimacy" to continue the war to the end, allowing him to remain as Prime Minister.

The former official asserted that these policies neither further the interests of settlers nor Israeli security, adding that these factors do not dictate Netanyahu's policy-making. He said that the goal of these policies is to allow Netanyahu to remain in power, even if they lead to the "third destruction."

Four reasons as to why to "Israel" will stop its war on Gaza

Claiming that the United States has sent a clear message to "Israel", Brik said that Washington told the Israeli regime that "the party is over" and that the fighting in Gaza has been "exhausted."

Israeli reservists are extremely morally and physically fatigued. This in particular is one of the reasons that led the US to take the position outlined by Brik. 

Brik pointed to the collapsing Israeli economy, a phenomenon that he wrote about extensively in a previous article. He listed this as another reason as to why the fighting in Gaza has been exhausted. 

Brik believes the third reason for the inviability of the war on Gaza is that the ongoing war of attrition has caused "Israel" to lose global support, further isolating itself. Even its European allies are turning their backs on it, as evidenced by economic sanctions, halting arms shipments, and exclusion from international projects, Brik explained, pointing to the "irreparable" damage caused by international courts' decisions throughout the period of the aggression. 

The final factor is the widening schism between sectors of Israeli settler communities, which may spur a "civil war" among the different factions, which will be preceded by a multi-front regional war "brought to [Israel] by Bibi (Netanyahu) from Beirut."
