The Israeli Kan 11 channel revealed today that great tensions have taken over the cabinet as it has failed to achieve its declared goals about eight months after the start of the Israeli war on Gaza.
The channel's sources from within the cabinet confirmed that relations between its members have been significantly deteriorating in the recent period, especially amid their inability to make decisions on strategic issues like the "day after."
The sources also indicated that disagreements arose due to the lack of progress in the negotiations regarding the return of Israeli captives held by the Palestinian resistance and a ceasefire.
They stressed that in light of these internal clashes, dissolution of the cabinet seems closer than ever adding that "Israel" is moving towards an undetermined place, not strategic decisions and it will have to return to the position it was referencing the comeback of clashes with the Palestinian resistance in areas of the Gaza Strip where the IOF have claimed that they were carrying out "missions."
Israeli Kan 11 channel explained that the tensions are not only limited to the internal political level but rather mix between political and the military levels on the one hand and between the negotiating team and the decision-making political level on the other.

Israeli Ministers Ben-Gvir, Eisenkot quarrel in cabinet
The Israeli news website Walla! said that an argument broke out between Israeli Ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Gadi Eisenkot during the cabinet meeting on May 16.
According to the Israeli website, the argument broke out after Israeli war cabinet member Gadi Eisenkot told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his government has ignored taking any strategic decisions in its war against Gaza for months now.
Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir interrupted saying "We’ve heard enough from you generals," adding that Eisenkot's policies are the reason behind October 7.
Eiseknot slammed him back by saying "Stop interrupting me," then added, "Remove your sandals," referencing a verse from the book of Exodus which ends with "...for the place where you are standing is holy ground."
