When Gallant says, “The cease-fire is sealing the fate of the abductees for many years in the captivity of Hamas. Only from a position of strength can they be released,” he is winking at the base of the Likud, but in practice he supports the IDF, Eisenkot, Gantz and Biden: reduction of fighting in Gaza, preparation for lethal treatment in the event of the ceasefire violation, the release of hostages and prisoners and the preparation of the area for the PA’s entry into the Strip with other forces.

In other words, these are the actual preparations for ‘the day after’. The IDF carries them out independently and tweets about the opposition of Netanyahu, Amsalem, Ben Gabir and Smotrich and their tastes with them (including Sa’ar who is preparing himself to join the extremists). The day after brings both the political process and the end of the government closer.
In practice, the IDF is conducting a deadly campaign to eliminate the power of Hamas in the West Bank in order to strengthen the Palestinian Authority, or in Gallant’s words: “A strong Palestinian Authority is an Israeli security interest.” In doing so, Gallant outed the government as an Israeli security risk. Meanwhile, everyone’s eye is on the ball – Whether, when and how the IDF will achieve a significant blow to Hamas. Everyone wants it. Not only the right that does not know how to cut losses but also the left that is caught up in a terrible reality that requires terrible decisions.
The great mystery is whether the IDF knows how close the hunters are to the fox, what happens in the conversations that are not published and how they weigh harming the leadership with preserving the lives of the kidnapped. The IDF is spreading hints that it is really close, but in order to get an open check from the public, on the General Staff. To say something clearer – is it possible at the stage of the advanced approach to Sinwar to conduct a reasonable negotiation on the release of the abductees without endangering them.
The Chief of Staff said that “time is pressing for the release of the abductees and we must continue to act to bring results.” His job (among other things) is to personally conduct the dialogue with the public, because the cabinet is not relevant. Even if Dodi Amsalem has wise comments (as Netanyahu told ), and I have no doubt that our uncle himself did not know that he was like that.
The decision to avoid decisions is entirely Netanyahu’s who is afraid of taking responsibility for any step, either for fear of the collapse of his government or for fear that he will agree with the military’s moves and they will fail – this in the sense of eliminating Hamas infrastructure and/or killing hostages. Instead of deciding, he provides Rahab’s statements, PR photos with soldiers and a box of medicine for the abductees that he sends straight from the meeting room accompanied by an affectionate caress.
Oh, how ridiculous it is, oh and how dangerous it is when procrastination takes its toll in blood. So Blinken moved here once more. It seems that this man finishes a day’s work in his office at the State Department, flies to Israel, puts the Biden outline on the table to reduce the blood price and destruction in preparation for a political process (two states) and returns to Washington. as usual. And as usual Netanyahu twists and turns between the same slogans and always returns to his comfort zone, endless procrastination, and waits, like the rest of us, for the results of the next days of fighting.
Is there a victory picture? He is in the center. nothing? It is the army’s fault. Amsalem and Strock’s wise comments about the army’s failures pave Netanyahu’s escape route. Moa? Moa all of a sudden?
