Former Israeli intelligence chief Lt.-Gen. Amos Malka slammed the conduct of the Israeli occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, during a radio interview, stating, "His judgment in the conduct of the war at the moment is flawed and tends towards a blame game and a plan to detach himself from responsibility."

Malka added that Netanyahu is preoccupied with securing his position rather than focusing on managing the war on Gaza. 

"If he has the time on the second and third day of the war to deal with whether the commission of inquiry that will be established will be governmental or state, and if he engages in delusional and dangerous tweeting for three hours during the IDF's operation to rescue of Pvt. Ori Megidish  - I see that he is not focused on conducting the fighting. He is focused on survival," he said.

"Not all of [his energy] is focused on combat," he added. "If all of it was focused on combat, we would see exactly what we see with the IDF leaders and the Shin Bet [Israel Security Agency], who said that they would return to investigate what happened with courage and integrity, but right now they are exclusively engaged in conducting the war - and they also use the word 'responsibility' - a word that has somewhat disappeared in Jerusalem."

Internal divisions within the Israeli leadership, encompassing both political and military spheres, have become prominent, particularly with the commencement of the ground offensive in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army has suffered significant losses, while the Palestinian Resistance demonstrates remarkable resilience, courage, and valor on the ground, including well-executed ambushes targeting Israeli occupation forces.

Wrong man, wrong place, wrong time

Earlier today, a report by The Economist expressed that the Israeli occupation is witnessing a political battle over the conduct of the war, its repercussions, and who makes the decisions. 

According to the report, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu is “at the heart of this battle,” and he has been the dominant figure in Israeli politics for more than two decades.

The newspaper described Netanyahu as “the wrong man, in the wrong place, at the wrong time."

"The general opinion is that he has lost the confidence of the Israeli public opinion and who has difficulty effectively running a war cabinet. He is also an unlikely candidate to achieve the two-state solution that USA implicitly demands in exchange for his support of the offensive," The Economist added.
