The former head of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman), Amos Yadlin, said the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) were yet to achieve their objectives in the aggression on the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military has two tasks: "dismantling Hamas and releasing the prisoners, and we are still far from achieving that." Yadlin said.

Yadlin also underlined that "the factor of time is not in favor of Israel, not in the north and not in terms of the economy, nor external pressure."

IOF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said the army "did not fulfill our mission on October 7 to safeguard the security of Israelis," noting that "[Israel] paid a very high price for it."

Similarly, the State Comptroller's Office criticized the government's preparedness for emergencies and its handling of authorities during the war, according to Israeli media reports.

In light of the resounding failures, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is being faced with more criticism than it ever has.

Israeli media have discussed Netanyahu's fate after the end of the Israeli ground incursion in the Gaza Strip, revealing ongoing consultations among members of Netanyahu's Likud party in the Knesset regarding the possibility of the Prime Minister's ouster through a no-confidence vote.

Political demise

According to the political affairs correspondent for Israeli Channel 13, Sefi Ovadia, "A group of MKs and ministers in Likud discussed in recent days the idea of ​​mobilizing 61 MKs for a constructive vote of no confidence that would lead to the formation of a new government in this Knesset without elections."

Ovadia explained that some Likud Knesset members believe that if Netanyahu remains the party leader and elections are held, many of them, due to a possible defeat of the party in the elections, will not return to be an important part of the Israeli political system.

In a related context, the Israeli website Walla! reported that a poll showed that two-thirds of Israelis want new elections after the end of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

The Ynet website reported that the protesters hung a large banner outside Netanyahu's residence, on which they wrote: "Resign now" and "How did you not know anything?" in reference to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The protesters also raised pictures of the captives in Gaza, demanding their release.

The families of the Israeli captives are taking measures to pressure the government and Netanyahu to implement a prisoner exchange deal and to avoid endangering their lives in light of the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip and the ongoing ground invasion.

The settlers have directed many criticisms at Netanyahu, demanding his resignation and calling him a "failure".
