Former Israeli Security Minister Moshe Ya'alon criticized the Israeli government for its stated intention to assert control over the Gaza Strip after the war.

Ya'alon expressed dissatisfaction, describing the government as reliant on figures like Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, and he argued that it lacks the capacity to make decisive decisions.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he acknowledged that despite "the positive influence of Israeli figures like Israeli war cabinet Minister Benny Gantz and Former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot in bringing some rationality to the cabinet", their presence is not sufficient to lead the Israeli entity out of the current crisis.

It is worth noting that Ya'alon stated in an interview for Israeli Channel 13 on October 25, that he perceived a "vacuum" in the government's actions from the very first day of the war. He added that the Israeli Chief of General Staff and the head of Military Intelligence failed in their roles during the recent events in Gaza.

He also pointed out that Gal Hirsch, the person in charge of the Israeli captives' file in Gaza, lacks the necessary experience to handle this issue. Ya'alon affirmed that if he were to receive an invitation from the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to take part in the aggression on the Gaza Strip, he would say, "I will come, and you go home."

Israeli army losing, facing ongoing problems during Gaza truce: Media

Israeli media suggested on Saturday that "from a practical standpoint, the Israeli army is losing," adding that "there are ongoing problems facing the [Israeli] forces in Gaza during the truce."

The Israeli channel Kan pointed out that the "reorganization of the Israeli military in Gaza is still under construction, and the rules are not yet entirely clear," noting that there won't be 12,000 Israeli soldiers left in Gaza, as the army will reduce this number.

The report mentioned that Israeli occupation forces are attempting to prevent the movement of Palestinian residents from the southern part of the Gaza Strip to the north, and there are entire units working on this mission, indicating that "it is obvious that they will not succeed in stopping all these movements."

Elsewhere, the Kan report added that "it is clear that Hamas will try to destroy what the Israeli army has done so far, and Israel has taken this into account and realized that there is a price for a truce."

This is happening as the Israeli military and political landscape faced significant challenges and shortcomings amid its brutal aggression on Gaza. The military efforts were marked by difficulties in achieving strategic objectives, with operations facing fierce  Palestinian Resistance and setbacks. The political dimension also witnessed a failure to garner widespread support for certain actions, both domestically and internationally.
