Foreign and Israeli media outlets confirm that the political crisis and divisions within the Israeli government are exacerbating the situation.

The Palestinian Resistance continues to shell illegal settlements and Israeli occupation sites for over two weeks, while the Israeli occupation persists in its criminal bombardment of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Al-Qassam Brigades have confirmed rocket strikes on Israeli military gatherings in the "Sufa" area in the Gaza Envelope.

In addition, the Palestinian Resistance has also targeted the occupied city of Askalan with rocket fire in response to the ongoing Israeli massacres in the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation government continues to delay declaring a ground invasion into Gaza -- an option it has been threatening since the early days of the aggression against the Strip.

Foreign and Israeli media outlets confirm that the political crisis and divisions within the Israeli government are exacerbating the situation, particularly in light of a possible decision to launch the invasion. Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu, expressed significant concerns about potentially catastrophic consequences for the Israeli army in case the plan was greenlighted.

In a related context, Israeli media cited Israeli officials as saying that several ministers are out of sight, with some Israeli ministries failing to perform their roles.

Haim Bibas, head of the Internal Front Authority within the Israeli government, mentioned that some ministers are indeed missing, and most ministries are not fulfilling their duties.

He added, "We are dealing with a group of bureaucratic individuals who lack experience, and most of the government ministries are not fulfilling their duties."

The Israeli official accused other government leaders of evading their responsibilities, saying, "I feel like I'm alone."

"Ultimately, we have been dealing with the affairs of Israelis for the past two weeks, and every day the settlers' evacuation from their settlements costs us 24 million shekels, which is more than half a billion shekels for just the month of October," Bibas highlighted.

Earlier, the so-called "Democratic Movement in Israel" claimed that the office of Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu burned documents after the launch of the Resistance's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 to evade responsibility for the premier's failure.

The movement also announced that it had requested the Attorney General to investigate the aforementioned allegations.

The Israeli Channel 12 had reported, citing military sources, that Netanyahu is running a campaign to undermine Israeli military chiefs in order to acquit himself of responsibility for the defeat suffered on October 7.

According to Channel 12, Netanyahu is collecting reports and information that would aid his claim to avoid responsibility for the intelligence and military failure.

Following the launch of the Palestinian Resistance's operation that caught "Israel" off-guard, a significant majority of Israelis said they believe Netanyahu should publicly acknowledge responsibility for the intelligence and military failures that preceded the attack, as per a Maariv newspaper opinion poll.

According to the survey, 80% of Israelis believe that Netanyahu should also accept responsibility publicly, a sentiment echoed by 69% of those who voted for Netanyahu’s Likud party in last year's election. Conversely, only 8% of settlers oppose this move.

Another opinion poll after the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood showed that about 92% of Israelis are extremely concerned and that 84% hold the Netanyahu government responsible for the failure.

The Israeli government, specifically its head, Netanyahu, faces massive accusations from both political opponents and settlers due to its failure to contain the Resistance's operation and the inability of the Israeli military to protect Israeli settlers.

Former Israeli occupation Prime Minister Ehud Barak told the British magazine The Economist that Netanyahu bears responsibility for the "greatest failure in Israel's history" and advised the premier not to rush to a ground invasion into the Gaza Strip.

Former Northern Command Chief in the Israeli military reserves, Major General Nimrod Sheffer, considered that "Netanyahu and his entire government bear responsibility for the failure."
