Tens of thousands of Israeli occupation settlers gathered at occupied Haifa's "Hostages Square" demanding early elections to replace the Israeli occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. and kicking off 24-hour events marking 100 days since October 7, the day when the Palestinian Resistance launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood in defense of Palestinians who were arbitrarily detained, abused, and held under inhuman conditions in Israeli prisons.

The Palestinian Resistance, on October 7, infiltrated the occupied Gaza Envelope, entered Israeli settlements built over the remains of Palestinian villages, and took Israelis as captives as a negotiation token for the release of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

Former Security Minister Moshe Ya’alon, who according to Israeli media is "once an ally of Netanyahu turned critic," accused the Israeli occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, of contributing to the circumstances that allowed the Resistance to outsmart and overtake the Israeli occupation forces on October 7. The accusations underscored the political tensions within "Israel", thus adding fuel to the public's call for change.

Meanwhile, Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant has reportedly stormed out of a meeting of the war cabinet at the "Kirya" in "Tel Aviv" after feuding with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in the latest spat between the two.

Gallant was reportedly angered because his chief of staff was not allowed to enter the meeting under the pretext that aides were not allowed in, even though Netanyahu had several aides present.

“Stop getting in the way of my work,” Gallant is quoted as telling Netanyahu and "National Security" Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi before angrily leaving.

Settlers who organized this event on the 100th day of the genocide announced that messages of support for "Israel", despite the genocide it has been committing, from various world leaders would be read out during the event.

It has also been reported by Israeli media that all of "Israel's" leaders, including occupation President Isaac Herzog and Netanyahu, were invited to speak at the event.

Likewise, thousands of settlers gathered at Habima Square in "Tel Aviv" and called for “elections now".

Accusing the Prime Minister of failure to prevent the October 7 operation despite surveillance soldiers’ warnings, Neta Spillman said, “You, prime minister, are guilty," adding, “How do you sleep at night.”

She asked why the captives have not been retrieved yet, wondering, “Why are the Bibas family still there, and you’re still here?”

Israeli media describes Netanyahu as the 'master of failure'

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz criticized Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing him on the eve of the 100-day war on the Gaza Strip as "the master of failure in multiple fields." The critique highlighted his failures in the realms of security, diplomacy, and economics.

The newspaper suggested that, after these prolonged days of the war, the government's top priority should be the repatriation of Israeli captives from Gaza, even if it comes at the expense of a ceasefire, the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, or the "overthrow of Hamas."

In the context of the declared Israeli goals of the war on Gaza, Haaretz stressed that the Israeli forces are lingering in Gaza and that changing terminology in the media does not alter this reality. This was discussed in terms of replacing the phrase "undermining Hamas" with the term "demilitarizing the Gaza Strip."

The newspaper attributed the occupation forces' stagnation in Gaza to the performance of the Chief of Staff and his subordinates, "stuck between the pincers of a political elite with failing capabilities and a declining international line of credit," pointing out that abroad the "coalition gang" is treated differently than it is in "Israel".

It emphasized that the war's objectives cannot be fully realized without both domestic public support and international diplomatic credibility, especially under "an ineffective government and its unsuccessful, deceitful president."
