The Israeli Ynet news website reported that at least three ministers are considering resigning from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's government because of finding him responsible for the deteriorating conditions.
Ynet also reported that the "Kiryat Shmona" settlement has become like a ghost town, with empty streets and settlers living in panic and fear. Those who were evacuated from there have found no accommodations in hotels, a settler told Ynet.
According to the news website, Netanyahu is hesitant about a ground operation because he fears two simultaneous fronts getting involved. Hezbollah could drag "Israel" into a long-term war that would have little costs on the resistance, in respective to those that would be perpetrated against the occupation, Ynet reported.
On its front page today, Yedioth Ahranot newspaper wrote:
"After 17 days of the attack on Israel, everyone is trapped. Prime Minister Netanyahu is mad at the army, blaming it for everything that happened, and he finds it difficult to decide on entering Gaza. According to witnesses at the army command headquarters, the discussion is not focused, and no one is managing the civilian effort.Yesterday, the IOF spokesperson talked of "disagreements regarding the timing of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip" and "the crisis of trust that emerged between Netanyahu and the Israeli army, inside the shrinking and expanding cabinet."
"The strained relationship between Netanyahu and Gantz makes the operation very difficult. The Israeli government is having difficulty reaching unified decisions on central issues."
With regard to the issue of distrust, Yedioth Ahranot commented saying: "Houses can be rebuilt, but trust is difficult to rebuild."
The newspaper pointed out that the war on Gaza has caused confusion and disagreement between the head of the government and the army, creating a crisis of trust between a furious Netanyahu and the IOF officials, whom he holds responsible for everything that happened.
"Netanyahu deals with the opinions and assessments expressed by the military officers with reluctance and delays in adopting the plans they present."Meanwhile, inside the Israeli army, they say that the blame falls on the political leadership for not setting clear goals for the army, which doesn't know when it has achieved its objectives or when "Israel" has won. Netanyahu and Gantz promised to "eliminate Hamas from Gaza" but did not explain the practical meaning of this commitment.
Israeli media also mentioned that Netanyahu met with Reserve General Isaac Brick for the second time since the beginning of the war. Brick, who opposes a ground invasion of Gaza, has been warning for years of problems about the efficiency of the IOF and its readiness for war.
During his first meeting with Netanyahu, he called for a delay in the ground invasion into the Gaza Strip, in preparation for a multi-front war, a warning he has issued for years and continues to do.
Additionally, the Israeli radio station 103 FM mentioned that former Israeli Security Minister Moshe Ya'alon opposes a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, saying:
"The current situation must be stopped before we pay a higher price. If there's anything I regret about 'Operation Protective Edge,' it's that we entered. There's no magic solution, neither political nor military. I don't know how they'll change Hamas."




If BIBI orders the IDF into a ground invasion, HOLY HELL will reign down in ISRAEL. Hezbollah likely has many sleeper agents in the USA via Mexico…so the USA will pay a very dear price I believe for supporting ISRAEL.
