PNN – On the 72nd day of the Gaza war, Israeli media reported that “Hamas is far from raising the white flag” and the heavy losses of the occupying army proved empty the claims of the Tel Aviv authorities about the nearness of victory.
According to the Pakistan News Network, Yediot Aharanot newspaper (Sunday, December 17) published a report and wrote that the developments of recent days and the losses inflicted on the Israeli regime’s army proved that there is no place for studio propaganda and insinuation that Tel Aviv’s victory is near.
This newspaper wrote that the road to victory over Hamas is long, while the evaluations in the army indicate that the current war will be prolonged for several more months, and the declaration that the victory over Hamas is close is not true.
Haaretz military analyst Amos Hareil also wrote that after about a month and a half of entering Gaza, it is still difficult to see how to destroy the power of Hamas or reach a prisoner exchange agreement with it.

He added: “At least in the short term, the second step will strengthen Hamas rather than weaken it, thus creating a situation where many empty declarations are published, while there is no real progress.”
This is despite the fact that the chief of staff of the Zionist regime, Herzi Halevi, claimed a few days ago that there are signs that Hamas is collapsing.
But Hareil wrote: “It is quite clear that every additional day in the Gaza Strip carries the risk of death for every one of our prisoners, because Hamas has not yet fallen, and although the level of damage to civilian and military infrastructure in Gaza is high, the pressure actions by the military will not necessarily lead to the imminent surrender of Hamas.
Amnon Abramovich, the analyst of political issues on Channel 12 of the Zionist regime’s TV, also pointed to Israel’s declared goals of the war and said that the problem lies in the politicians’ slogans and their alleged goals. On the one hand, they say the release of prisoners, and on the other hand, they say that Hamas should not have authority in Gaza. Criticizing that the images published in the media are very optimistic, he emphasized that “Israel” is still “far from the final solution”.
