Military expert Brigadier General Elias Hanna analyzed the ongoing dispute between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant, highlighting the implications for military strategy in Gaza. The disagreement centers on the Philadelphi Corridor, a critical area that could influence ceasefire negotiations and prisoner exchanges. Galant advocates for a strategic exit from the corridor, while Netanyahu prioritizes military control and security measures.
Hanna emphasized the historical context of Israel's military tactics, noting that control over land does not equate to control over underground tunnels, a factor that Hamas has leveraged in recent conflicts. The Israeli cabinet meeting revealed tensions, with accusations exchanged between Netanyahu and Galant regarding military strategies and responsibilities. Ultimately, the situation underscores Israel's broader goals of territorial division and population displacement.
