The British newspaper The Times quoted an Israeli security official as saying that the Israeli war government is about to collapse, and that the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Hesitating and wasting time.

The newspaper pointed out that the war government, which was formed quickly due to the war on Gaza stripfaces many questions regarding continuing the war against the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation) in Gaza – she said – or agreeing to a ceasefire that would allow the release of 136 Israeli detainees still in the Strip.

The newspaper said that disagreements over these issues, in addition to other challenges related to who will rule Gaza after the end of the war, are tearing apart the Israeli war government.

She also pointed out that some of the statements reveal the tension afflicting the Israeli war leadership, as Gadi Eisenkot, former commander of the Israeli army and member of the war cabinet, accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of withholding the truth about the military targets in Gaza.

Sharp disagreements

In the same context, the Israeli “Wala” website revealed yesterday, Saturday, that the Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Galant He tried to break into Netanyahu's office, and the situation almost deteriorated into a fistfight.

Gallant threatened Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer to bring Golani Brigade To control the situation in the war council.

Dermer, who renounced his American citizenship to serve as economic envoy in Washington before becoming ambassador there, is considered one of Netanyahu's closest associates.

According to the Walla website, Netanyahu's crew monitored Gallant's crew while recording the course of the security meetings on an audio tape.

Israeli media reported that Gallant left the war cabinet meeting – last Saturday – as his office director was prevented from attending, amid increasing tension within the council.

At the time, Israeli Channel 12 reported from a source that the minister’s withdrawal came after he arrived at the meeting headquarters and his assistant was prevented from entering with him, but when he entered the room he found 5 of Netanyahu’s aides.

The source added, “Netanyahu told Gallant that as long as my assistant does not attend, your assistant should not attend, despite the presence of 5 of his employees in the place,” and this is what prompted the Defense Minister to withdraw.

According to the channel, Netanyahu believes that the army is leaking some information related to the bilateral talks or discussions.

During recent months, the Israeli media has repeatedly touched on ongoing disagreements between Gallant and Netanyahu, related to how to manage the war on the Gaza Strip, and the aftermath of the war, in addition to Netanyahu’s repeated attempts to hold the army responsible for the war on the Gaza Strip.

Many Israeli analysts point out that each member of the War Council only thinks about his political future, and not Israel's interests.

Ofer Shelah, a researcher at the Institute for National Security Research, believes that the members of the War Council have been preparing themselves for the aftermath of the war since the first day of the war, “and this is because the ghost of October 7th is haunting them, and each one of them is running ugly media campaigns on satellite channels claiming that he is doing well.” “But others are wrong.”
