The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that former Israeli Security Minister, Benny Gantz, is on the verge of abandoning the occupation government, which seems to be digging its own grave.

Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that Israeli cabinet Minister Benny Gantz is on the verge of abandoning the occupation government, which seems to be digging its own grave. 

According to the newspaper, “Israel” is about to experience a national shock as its emergency government heads toward an "already known" end, something Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledges clearly. 

Bloomberg previously indicated that Gantz and several other representatives plan to exit the emergency government cabinet, a move considered to be the first nail in Netanyahu's coffin, as the PM finds himself on the way to being ousted.

Israeli Channel 14 also released a recorded clip of Israeli writer Haim Bar, accusing Netanyahu of disregarding settlements since October 7. 

The writer can be heard calling for the Netanyahus' punishment and death, a parallel to the story of an Israeli king who was served the death penalty alongside his wife.

Benjamin Netanyahu: Master of Failure

Netanyahu has been the central point of criticism ever since his evident failure in foreshadowing, intercepting, and handling the repercussions of Operation Al Aqsa Flood. Members of his cabinet hold him accountable for what the occupation has seen since October 7, and families of hostages have lost trust in him as he consistently failed to release Israeli captives in Gaza, as well as getting them killed by their own military forces. 

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has also called on ministers Benny Gantz, Gadi Eisenkot, and Gideon Sa’ar to abandon Netanyahu's cabinet. According to Lapid, Netanyahu is not qualified to lead the occupation, as reported by Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

Israeli media has also set the spotlight on Netanyahu's incompetence and failure.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz criticized Benjamin Netanyahu, the head of the occupation government, 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 detainees, 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."
