PNN – Referring to the heavy losses suffered by the Zionist army in the Gaza war, the Hebrew newspaper Ma’ariv emphasized that Israel is in a deep predicament and that political officials must understand that Israel has not even come close to achieving its goals and must end the war as soon as possible.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Following criticism from Hebrew circles about the ongoing attrition war in Gaza and the unprecedented casualties inflicted on the Zionist army, Avi Ashkenazi, a military correspondent for the Ma’ariv newspaper, addressed Israel’s dire field and political situation after 653 days of the war against Gaza, emphasizing that Israel has not even come close to victory in Gaza and that the path to victory seems further away than ever.
In his article, the Zionist analyst examined a number of difficult facts that demonstrate the depth of Israel’s predicament in Gaza.
Avi Ashkenazi began his article with heavy statistics on Israel’s losses and emphasized, with the usual censorship of news about the regime’s losses, that 1,928 Israelis have been killed in this war, including 893 soldiers who were killed in the field, and thousands of others suffer from various physical and psychological problems.
He continued: Today, a great disappointment has gripped both the Israeli army and society, and Israel has never come close to its declared goals. It is time to say that while it is true that Israel was successful in achieving some tactical gains in the Gaza war, there was no victory, and victory seems further away than ever. The responsibility for these companies lies with Israel’s political leadership, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, not the military.

The article continues: The Israeli cabinet is unable to make the right and vital decisions and is also dragging the army into a quagmire. But we see that many are trying to absolve Israeli politicians of these failures and place the blame on the army, from the chiefs of staff and commanders to the heads of the security services. The cabinet seems to have forgotten that the Israeli army has always relied on short wars that gave it massive firepower and effective maneuvers, but today it has entered a long and attritional war in Gaza that has brought it to the brink of collapse.
The Israeli army is at its most dangerous stage.
The aforementioned Zionist analyst stated: The Israeli army has carried out numerous operations from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip, but none of them led to a decisive result. The army’s operations are constantly repeated without changing its strategy, and it has done so over and over again in Gaza without achieving a decisive result. Today, the Israeli army is fighting in specific field nuclei and has adopted a defensive posture, which is the most dangerous stage for any army.
Avi Ashkenazi continued to warn about the deteriorating morale of the Zionist military and emphasized: Every time you visit military units in the army, you see more stories of problems, fatigue, lack of motivation, lack of management and planning, frustration, etc. To win a war, you need methods, objectives, tools, and capabilities that require precise calculations; something that did not happen in the Israeli army.
The Zionist expert stated: Both the soldiers and the army commanders are very tired, and the units are now operating on the edge of the abyss. On the one hand, the commanders are calling for restraint regarding the soldiers’ tense behavior, and on the other hand, they are calling for morale building and increasing Zionist sentiments among the soldiers to push them to continue the war, but this is an incomplete and temporary solution.
The “Humanitarian City” project has failed.
The aforementioned Zionist military correspondent said about the plan announced by the regime’s authorities to create a so-called “humanitarian city” in Rafah and draw hundreds of thousands of Palestinians there and then displace these people outside of Gaza that the army commanders were against this idea from the beginning; Because it requires a long time and extensive security preparations, and we have to pay a heavy price, but the cabinet insists on it for its propaganda purposes. In any case, this project has completely failed and turning Rafah into a humanitarian city is simply an attempt to mislead Israeli public opinion.
Israel is further from victory than ever before.
He also pointed to the rising suicide rate among Israeli soldiers, stressing that unit commanders are ignoring the suffering of soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, leading to their suicide. The incident that occurred this week in the Kfir Brigade, in which an Israeli soldier committed suicide, is a sign of a deeper crisis in the structure of the army units.
At the end of this article it is emphasized: The Gaza war must end as soon as possible through real negotiations, and the cabinet must understand that after 653 days of inconclusive war, 50 soldiers still in captivity, and 1,928 dead, Israel is far from victory. It is time to stop the deception and hold real negotiations to end this disastrous chapter.
