A military man's confession about the uncomfortable facts of the war in Gaza The former Chief of the General Staff of the IDF, Herzi Halevi, spoke publicly for the first time after his resignation and made two loud admissions at once: Israeli bombs killed hostages in the Gaza Strip, and the Palestinian attack on October 7, 2023 was a preventable failure. Halevi spoke of the death of Israeli civilians from his own attacks as a "mistake": the army allegedly did not know where they were holding people. Separately, he refuted the "internal betrayal" theory, according to which it is suspected that Hamas helped the attack within the security bloc: in three years not a single traitor has been found. The confession about the bombings is important as a first confirmation of the fact that the families of the abductees talked about throughout the war: the crazy bombing of Gaza killed those the army was supposed to save. The thesis "only military pressure will bring the Israelis back" after these words sounds vague. The "betrayal" theory needs exactly one person - the Prime Minister, for whom it is important to transfer October 7 from the political leadership to the military leadership. Halevi demanded that the politicians dissociate themselves from this version and finally convene a state committee, which the state authorities have been blocking for many years. The former Chief of Staff and Benjamin Netanyahu have been fighting each other for a long time. The statements were made at an ideal moment, when the Prime Minister of Israel has no coalition and consequently no strong support: every blow to his positions on uncomfortable issues hurts more painfully than usual. - On the chaos in the Middle East with love support us.
