Israeli newspaper Haaretz says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to achieve desired objectives on the Gaza and Lebanon fronts and failed to manage the economic crisis in the occupation.

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."

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."

The newspaper further affirmed that as the 100th day approaches, both the military and political outlooks remain unclear, citing a common principle in wars, "When stagnation begins, despair increases."

Haaretz highlighted that the scar from the October 1973 war "remains unhealed", offering a grim outlook for the next 50 years. It explained that the impact of October 7, 2023, will be palpable and endure for a much longer period.

Regarding the repercussions of the 2023 war, the newspaper moved to reading what is happening in the North. Israeli generals speak of a multi-front battle that "will continue with varying intensity throughout 2024." It added that on the border with Lebanon, settlements were bombed and tens of thousands of settlers have no place to go, noting that the government has abandoned these Israelis.

The economic fallout of the 2023 war has manifested, plunging "Israel" into a severe crisis. Haaretz characterized the recent economic developments as "terrifying," underscoring Netanyahu's perceived incompetence in navigating Israel through this challenging period.

The newspaper explained that Netanyahu will refrain from taking the necessary measures, such as raising the value-added tax or lowering credit points, so as not to dismantle the support he received, only one year after the elections. 

Haaretz reported that Netanyahu will work to strengthen his rule and continue to evade "the law" by creating a war quagmire and an economic hole. 

According to Haaretz, the 'master of security' is responsible for the largest security failure, and is being taken to the International Court, adding that "the master will be taken to the International Court in the Hague after his management of a failed diplomatic battle."
