Israeli Reserve General Itzhak Brik said in an op-ed published by the Israeli newspaper Maariv that "Israel should declare the end of the war because it truly lost."

He added that the real circus that endangered the occupation was Netanyahu, Gantz, Gallant, and Halevi's coalition.

On the Israeli plot to invade Rafah, Brik commented that "Israel" cannot fully defeat Hamas, and a military offensive in Rafah would not better its chances. He reiterated "Israel's" defeat, saying "We really lost, in case you haven't understood that yet."

Slamming Netanyahu, the Reserve General said the Prime Minister is more interested in government than the war, and "feeds off the pressure from [Israeli Finance Minister Bezalzel] Smotrich and [Israeli Police Minister Itamar] Ben-Gvir". He further described Netanyahu as a man who goes with the flow of the catastrophe.

Iran attack on 'Israel' reveals it cannot engage in multi-front war

In the wake of heightened tensions between the Israeli occupation and Iran, Israeli media outlets have scrutinized the implications of Iran's response to the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria. Additionally, there is a growing discourse on the occupation's capacity to engage in multiple fronts simultaneously.

Israeli Reserve General Guy Tzur cautioned against the strategy of opening additional battlefronts, labeling it a "big mistake."

Tzur, speaking on Israeli Kan TV, highlighted the many setbacks historically faced by the Israeli occupation during such endeavors, stressing that the outcome would be "very bad".

Echoing similar sentiments, Tel Aviv University professor Israel Sporta advocated for a reassessment of the occupation forces' military strategy, questioning the notion of the Israeli occupation's "greatness and immense power."

Sporta dismissed the notion of "absolute victory" touted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "just nonsense."
