Trust among Israeli ministers is going downhill with the Israeli occupation Prime Minister set to force meeting attendees to take a "lie detector" test.

The growing disagreements among war cabinet members in the Israeli occupation government have become a prominent topic addressed by Israeli media ever since the Israeli occupation forces began their genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli channel Makan reported that the cabinet rift deepened after an exchange of accusations among Israeli cabinet members in the last session. The rift indicated that more and more disagreements are surfacing especially after the no-show intention of two ministers of the Israeli occupation's Benny Gantz-led "National Unity" alliance in the upcoming war cabinet meeting later today.

According to Israeli media, the two members who will refrain from joining this week's war cabinet meeting are Gadi Eisenkot and Hailey Tropper. Israeli media further stressed that their decision came after the last session's verbal row.

An Israeli member of the Knesset from the Likud Party, Dan Illoz, was quoted as saying, "Gantz is looking for every excuse to dismantle the emergency government" at a time when ground incursions continue across the Gaza Strip.

For his part, the Israeli occupation Police Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, reiterated his refusal to appoint former Security Minister Shaul Mofaz to the position of head of the investigation committee into the events of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Israeli media reported.

Ben-Gvir also criticized the media's treatment of right-wing ministers, saying, "Whenever we ask questions, we find them claiming that we are attacking the leaders of the Israeli army."

Netanyahu 'slams cabinet meeting leaks'

The Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, according to The Times of Israel, that anyone entering the war cabinet meetings and any discussions of "national security" matters, both members of cabinet and high-ranking officials, "must be compelled to undergo lie detector tests."

According to Netanyahu, this comes in light of the leaks regarding the last meeting, as well as those that preceded it where significant information was leaked to the press.

“We have a plague of leaks and I am not willing to continue like this, which is why I directed the promotion of a law that everyone who sits in cabinets and security discussions, including the political and professional ranks — will undergo a polygraph,” Channel 12 quoted Netanyahu as saying during the cabinet meeting.

'Most expensive war'

As if the distrust and growing rift were not enough. "Israel" is now engaged in a war that has been dubbed the "most expensive" in its history thus far. With problems going from the cost of the war that has surged to $60 billion to the evacuated settlers who are incapable of returning to their settlements both in the south and north, the issue of the captives still being far from being resolved, achieving none of the objectives the Israeli army has declared upon waging the war, and the loss of support worldwide, "Israel" is feeling more and more isolated were it not for the US support.
