PNN – Following the continued failure of the Israeli army to achieve the goals of the genocidal war against Gaza and the continued existence of dozens of Israeli prisoners in Gaza after more than a year and a half of war, dozens of Israeli doctors joined the protesters against the continuation of the war.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Al Jazeera Qatar, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper announced that dozens of Israeli doctors serving as reservists have signed a letter calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza and the immediate return of prisoners.
These doctors emphasized: After 550 days of war, we have concluded that the continuation of the war in Gaza is not in the interests of security, but rather in the interests of the political and personal interests of some individuals.
Previously, dozens of Israeli Air Force pilots announced that they would leave their military service in protest of the failure to return Israeli prisoners and the continuation of the war.
After the publication of a protest petition by the same reservists in the Israeli Air Force, calling for an end to the war on Gaza and the return of the Israeli prisoners, the regime’s officials reacted strongly to this issue, and the Chief of Staff of the Army and the Minister of War approved the expulsion of these soldiers.

Israeli sources reported on Thursday that the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army and the Commander of the Air Force have decided to expel the reservists who signed a petition calling for an end to the war in Gaza and the return of Israeli prisoners.
Golan said that the signatories of the petition protesting the Gaza war are actually supporters and protectors of the Zionist regime, not people who have refused military service.
In contrast, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz opposed the petition and said: “I do not accept this petition and the attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the just war that the army is waging in Gaza to return the prisoners and defeat Hamas.”
Netanyahu’s office also issued a statement stating that he supports the decision of the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff of the Army, because the signatories of the petition seek to overthrow the government and are not considered representatives of the military or the general “Israeli people.”
On the other hand, Itamar Ben-Giver, the Minister of Internal Security of the Israeli regime, criticized the protest petition and said: “Refusal of military service endangers our security and encourages our enemies to harm us.”
Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich commended the Chief of Staff and Commander of the Air Force for dismissing Air Force reservists who refused military service, saying: We will no longer accept any invitation to mutiny from the army under any circumstances, whether in war or peace.
These statements come at a time when the scope of protests over the management of the war in Gaza has even extended to the army and reserve forces, an issue that could create more serious challenges for the Israeli government going forward.
