Netanyahu in the quagmire of the Gaza war: from military defeats to internal collapse.
According to Al Jazeera, despite the failure of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet to achieve the declared goals of the war on Gaza, including destroying Hamas, freeing prisoners, imposing the Zionist plan for the future of Gaza, and forcing the Palestinians to leave their land, he continues to try to portray the Zionist regime as an invincible state, despite having used all its global coalitions and intelligence tools.
Observers believe that Netanyahu is in a state of political unreality, or the so-called “state of denial,” and does not accept defeat. This denial can be seen in the selectivity of the information that the Zionist regime publishes or hides and secretly leaks to the media.
The Israeli Prime Minister is using religious cover to achieve military goals. A war that has become the longest war in the history of the regime and has also been extended inland as a war of attrition, leaving devastating effects on the security, economy, agriculture and technology of the Zionist regime, and has weakened the domestic front and brought crises to its military, although it hides them.
Since the beginning of Operation Storm Al-Aqsa on October 7, 2023, the Zionist regime has put forward the concept of a “religious war”, and this term has become one of the most widely used official and media terms, and it plays a prominent role, especially in the regime’s internal crises and their wars in Gaza and Lebanon.
It is clear that Netanyahu relies on placing the war in religious terms. He changed the name of the invasion of Gaza from “Iron Swords” to “Doomsday War” and seems to be referring to the Battle of Armageddon (Mount Megiddo), which is described in Biblical sources as a war between good and evil or a war between God and Satan.
Netanyahu is trying to use religious cover to justify the bloody crimes in Gaza and to strengthen a domestic front that is full of contradictions and divisions. He thinks that by preoccupying the public opinion of the regime with the idea of ​​an external threat, he will gain popular and international support.
Experts believe that Netanyahu’s move is another losing gamble, because religious motivations are no longer able to attract more troops. With the return of the crisis of conscription of religiously fanatical Jews (Haredim) and their unwillingness to serve, this issue has become a crisis within the Zionist regime’s cabinet.
