Despite a news conference that saw Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant take questions for the first time since the beginning of the war, Israel has yet to articulate a realistic endgame, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara says.
In his speech announcing the “second phase” of Israel’s Gaza offensive, Netanyahu said the country was “more united than ever”.
But Israeli media reports over the past several days hint at divisions within the Israeli premier’s administration.
Israel’s defence and army leaders have been clamouring to launch a full-scale ground invasion. Still, Netanyahu has faced pressure – mainly from the US – to take a more incremental approach and buy time to try to secure the release of captives held in Gaza.
Marwan Bishara wrote, "The tension between “Netanyahu and the other two leading generals in the war cabinet, Benny Gantz and Yoav Gallant, is widening this division and creating confusion over the much-anticipated land invasion”.
“The rift is driven by personal, military, political and ideological disagreements that emerged well before the war started, and are likely to shape the Israeli polity well after it ends.”
