'Israel' failed to find an alternative for Hamas: Israeli media

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz criticizes the occupation's applied policy and its failure to find an alternative for Hamas in Gaza as it attempts to "end it".

Israeli media confirmed that after more than five months since the Israeli war on Gaza, the occupation has failed to find any serious alternative for Hamas to govern Gaza post-war.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz said that "Israel's" policy of killing time and improvising to prevent [the establishment of] an "independent Palestinian state" has remained the same with the only difference being an increase in the destruction and suffering haunting "both sides".

The occupation's behavior and actions since October 7 only prove that after one of the "worst disasters in its history" and over five months of aggression, the same faults still pilot the mentality of its leading officials, the Israeli newspaper added. 

Haaretz highlighted that the occupation's attempt to find a mechanism for distributing aid in Gaza independent of Palestinian factions and its refusal to discuss the "day-after" plan is a clear indication that "Israel" has applied a policy of time killing and improvising with no clear vision ahead, up until October 6. 

It added that the only difference is the magnitude of the massive destruction in Gaza, the unimaginable civilian death toll, and the severe humanitarian catastrophe in return for a captive crisis unprecedented for "Israel". 

Up until the war, the policy followed by Israeli occupation governments, specifically Netanyahu's government, has been perpetual separation between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in attempts to prevent any opportunity for political progress, the Israeli newspaper said.

Even though the Israeli occupation has specified that after October 7 its focus has shifted toward "ending Hamas", it has failed to provide any serious alternative, Haaretz stressed. 

Gallant holds alternate meeting after Netanyahu sidelines war cabinet

Israeli Security Minister, Yoav Gallant, held an alternate meeting with the heads of Israeli security and military apparatuses after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to convene the war cabinet on the night of March 16, according to Israeli media outlets. 

Headlining the meeting's agenda was the prisoner exchange file, as participants were informed of intel regarding a possible prisoner exchange deal. Top security and military officials, alongside members of the Israeli negotiating envoy, discussed the proposals presented by the Israeli side during mediated talks with the Palestinian Resistance. Their focus centered on the obstacles hindering the finalization of a deal.

Netanyahu had refused to convene a meeting of the Israeli war cabinet, which is experiencing continuous turmoil as a result of strategic and in-house disputes. The Israeli Prime Minister has been accused of sidelining members of the war cabinet when it comes to crucial decisions and positions such as the prisoner exchange file. 

This most recent news adds to evidence of such claims, as Netanyahu denied Gallant, as an essential member of the war cabinet and the larger coalition government, from going over the file with other members of the war cabinet and top Israeli officials. 

This comes at a time when Israeli analysts are increasingly pointing to a "dangerous strategic predicament," resulting from a long war of attrition it approaches on both the Northern Front with Lebanon and the Southern Front with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza. 

Amos Harel, a military analyst for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, criticized the Israeli Prime Minister saying that he is the one who should be held responsible for exacerbating "unique" troubles that "Israel" is facing.

The analyst said that "Israel's" woes are a direct result of Netanyahu's personal ambitions and his attempt to escape "justice". He added that Netanyahu does not "present [Israelis] with the dangers of the security and political situation, but instead, he shares legends about his successes and achievements along with false hopes of absolute victory."
