According to Israel’s Channel 12, Major General Israel Ziv, the former head of operations for the Israeli army, has criticized the ongoing war in Gaza, describing it as a "dire quagmire" where Israel is "stuck and bleeding."

Ziv, who previously led the Gaza Division, suggested that the war has become a tool for political stability for Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government. He implied thaat Netanyahu might be prolonging the war to maintain his political position and delay his corruption trial, which could result in imprisonment.

Ziv pointed out that after a year of what he termed the longest and most exhausting war in Israel’s history, the country remains ensnared in a continuous security crisis with no clear resolution in sight. He remarked that the situation has deteriorated and lacks a clear path to resolution, noting that what Netanyahu once claimed was a war nearing victory six months ago now seems to be endless.

We are surrounded by enemies everywhere.

It is impossible to survive in the Middle East without a sword.

Hardcore Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has appealed to Netanyahu, requesting that ending the Palestinian resistance in the occupied West Bank be included as one of the war's goals.

Israel has brought the 'systematic brutality' seen in Gaza to the West Bank.

I ask for forgiveness from Hostages families for not being able to bring them back alive.

Former Israeli war cabinet members Gadi Eisenkot and Benny Gantz held a press conference to refute Netanyahu's claims about the exchange deal and withdrawal from Gaza.

They asserted that Netanyahu has brought Israel to a "low point," failed to achieve any of its war goals after 10 months of war, and called for his resignation and new elections.

Netanyahu says 'shameful' of UK to halt some arms export licences to Israel
The decision, made a day after the recovery of six hostages' bodies from a Gaza tunnel, is swiftly condemned by Israeli ministers
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that the British government made a "shameful decision" when it suspended some arms export licences to Israel.

Britain's foreign minister David Lammy said on Monday that the government had suspended 30 of 350 arms export licences with Israel due to a risk the equipment could be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law.

The decision, which came a day after Israeli forces recovered the bodies of six hostages from a tunnel in Gaza, was quickly denounced by a number of Israeli ministers.
"This shameful decision will not change Israel's determination to defeat Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organisation that savagely murdered 1,200 people on Oct 7, including 14 British citizens," Netanyahu said in a social media post.

"Hamas is still holding over 100 hostages, including 5 British citizens. Instead of standing with Israel, a fellow democracy defending itself against barbarism, Britain’s misguided decision will only embolden Hamas," Netanyahu said.

"With or without British arms, Israel will win this war and secure our common future."

Soon after Britain's Labour Party won an election in July, Lammy said he would update a review on arms sales to ally Israel to ensure these complied with international law.

British exports amount to less than 1 percent of the total arms Israel receives, and the minister said the suspension would not have a material impact on Israel's security and Britain continued to support its right to self-defence.

Both Israeli and Palestinian leaders are being investigated for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the wake of the Oct 7 attacks by Hamas in southern Israel which killed 1,200 people, by Israeli tallies.

Biden says Netanyahu not doing enough to secure hostage deal
The US is close to presenting a final proposal to negotiators working on a ceasefire, the US president says
President Joe Biden said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not doing enough to secure a deal for the release of hostages held in Gaza by Hamas and the US was close to presenting a final proposal to negotiators working on a hostage and ceasefire agreement.

Biden was speaking to reporters at the White House after Israeli forces over the weekend recovered the bodies of six hostages, including 23-year-old American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, from a tunnel in Gaza. Israel's military said they had been recently killed by Palestinian Hamas militants.

Israeli PM Netanyahu has requested enhanced security for his son, Yair Netanyahu, in the United States.

Yair Netanyahu, 33, has been living in Miami, Florida, since April 2023.
