Criticism of
politicians
On another
note, the commander of the Israeli Army's 98th Division called for political
unity, emphasizing that politicians aren't meeting the needs of soldiers who
are losing their lives in Gaza.
In a
statement, he expressed that Israel's failure on October 7, 2023, reflects
poorly on them.

Netanyahu was briefed in advance about the statement made by the commander of
the 98th Division. It also mentioned that Chief of Staff Hertz Halevi will
discuss his criticisms of politicians with him.

the political and security consequences following October 7, the Israeli
Broadcasting Corporation reported that the head of the Army's research
department announced his intention to step down after completing the
investigation into the October 7 attack.

assessment by the US intelligence community revealed a growing lack of
confidence in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership among
Israelis, predicting large protests demanding his resignation and suggesting

independently to support US foreign policy and national security. Founded by
