Once again, the contradictions between the Israeli military and the government have come to the fore.
The spokesman of the Israel Defense Forces publicly stated on the 19th that the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) cannot be "eliminated", and this statement by the military is unusual at a time when the Kazakh-Israeli conflict is in full swing.
For one, the statement came from IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari, a major general on active duty, who spoke on behalf of the military.
Second, the timing is sensitive, and at a time when Israel is in danger of fighting multiple parties, Daniel Hagari is questioning the Israeli government's decision to vow to destroy Hamas once and for all, at a time when internal unity should be strengthened.
If such a public statement does not indicate that there is a rift between the Israeli government and the military, it is undoubtedly an ostrich that pretends not to see it.
As a matter of fact, the contradictions between the Israeli military and the government have already been seen.
Since Gantz withdrew from Israel's wartime cabinet on June 9, this contradiction began to become public, and on the 16th, the Israeli military announced a sudden "tactical truce" in Gaza, without Netanyahu's knowledge, which pushed this contradiction to a new level, and then Netanyahu announced the dissolution of the wartime cabinet.
In response to the military's statement, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office immediately voiced its opposition, saying that destroying Hamas's political and military capabilities is the goal set by Prime Minister Netanyahu's cabinet, and the Israeli army should go all out to achieve this.
This statement directly pointed the finger at the Israeli army, accusing the army's top command of slackening its will.
And the military did not flinch, speaking out on the "Telegram" social platform, emphasizing that Hagari's speech meant the destruction of Hamas from an "ideology", stressing that "Hamas is an ideology, and we cannot eliminate an ideology." ”
The conflict between the military and the government this time is divided into different views on "what Hamas really is".
If it is defined as a political and military organization, it can be eliminated, but if it is regarded as a spirit and faith, it not only cannot be eliminated, but the more it is suppressed, the more powerful it becomes.
It has to be said that the Israeli army, which is on the front line of the fighting, has a much higher understanding of Hamas than Netanyahu, Hamas is an idea, a political party, it is rooted in the hearts of the people, for such an ideology, how can the Israelis destroy it?
The military's public statement at this moment will inevitably push the rift between the military and the government to the forefront.
In fact, behind this difference in understanding is the dispute between two different lines.
The most important thing is whether the reconstruction and governance of Gaza should be carried out, who will lead it, and whether there is such a plan?
Obviously, the military is looking forward to seeing the handling of Palestinian-Israeli relations in the "post-Hamas era", but at present, Netanyahu is only obsessed with the goal of completely destroying Hamas, and does not care about the reconstruction of Gaza, or Netanyahu does not want to give the Palestinians a chance to rebuild Gaza.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently at the center of the maelstrom, and wartime cabinet member Gantz has withdrawn from the government, because he believes that Netanyahu's policies have prevented the reconstruction of Gaza and the improvement of relations between Israel and Arab countries, making it difficult for Israel to achieve a real victory.
It can be seen that the contradictions between the Israeli military and the government will intensify, which may lead to a great change in the political arena.
