An Israeli Haaretz report says that the Prime Minister is "leading Israel to a strategic defeat against [the] small organization" Hamas.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz described Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a report on Saturday as "stupid" and "weak," as he still hasn't understood that without a political solution, "Israel" will continue to be subjected to repeated attacks that could have severe consequences.

In addition to this, the outlet also said that Netanyahu is a "liar, coward, panicked, and selfish" who is "unable to make decisions."

According to Haaretz, Netanyahu is "so detached from reality that just a moment before October 7, 2023, he said that Israel's international situation was excellent" and that the entity was close to achieving "peace with most Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, without addressing the Palestinian issue at all."

"The peak of Netanyahu's stupidity was his belief that he could buy Hamas with money, without realizing that it is" an "Islamic [Resistance] group that wants to destroy Israel," it continued.

"Imagine what would have happened if Hezbollah had also attacked on October 7. Netanyahu would not have defended the north as he did at the Gaza border." the report said mockingly. "All this, and we have not yet discussed what would happen if Iran, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq joined the October 7 attack all at once."

'Absolute defeat'

After years of Netanyahu declaring that "Israel is a regional major power," he called the United States to send over its warships to the region directly following Operation al-Aqsa Flood, and requested weapons and ammunition, the newspaper said.

"Can you imagine what would happen if the US president refused the request?" the report questioned with concern.

This shows that Netanyahu "is leading the war with stupidity, as instead of a short war in Gaza, the war has extended to its sixth month," which confirms "that he is leading Israel to a strategic defeat against a small organization even though he knows full well that as time passes, international displeasure with Israel increases."

Netanyahu is now taking the entity towards "absolute defeat" rather than "absolute victory" he continues to promise, as he has failed to achieve any of the war's objectives and has not eliminated Hamas nor returned the Israeli captives held in Gaza.

Amplifying failure

Haaretz was not the first outlet to express fear of the grim reality "Israel" is currently facing, considering that the entity was "defeated".

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said on Friday that Netanyahu's government has been facing a "resounding" failure since October 7, in terms of its announced war objectives of ending the Resistance Hamas and bringing back the captives.

It emphasized that over six months have passed since the Palestinian Resistance's operation and "Israel's" failure is only amplifying.

It added that the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza did not accomplish anything other than the mass destruction of the Strip, and, from this latter point, the perpetual and systematic failure of the Israeli government starts.

Even among American Jews and friends of "Israel", the entity has failed, which is also why Netanyahu should immediately resign and leave a window open for restoring "Israel's" standing with the US, especially among Jews, the website said. 

Additionally, among Jews supporting "Israel" in general, there is a growing understanding that Netanyahu is leading the occupation entity to absolute defeat and not victory, and that this defeat will ultimately lead to imposing a ceasefire on "Israel" in Gaza without overthrowing Hamas and without releasing the captives, allowing Hamas to win, it added.
