„A group of 250 reservists and alumni of the Israeli military's intelligence unit have joined calls to stop the fighting in the Gaza Strip and realize the return of Israeli hostages.
The group made the petition in a letter published on Friday. It follows a similar letter from about 1,000 Israeli Air Force reservists a day before.“

„Des bombardements salués par M.

„Israel rattled by talk that Netanyahu may replace defence minister
Reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was considering firing Defence Minister Yoav Gallant shook the political landscape and sent Israeli financial markets lower on Monday.“

„Israel's far-right national security minister, Ben Gvir, was confronted by a group of angry Israeli citizens at a beach in Tel Aviv on September 7. Videos posted on social media showed Israelis calling Gvir "a murderer and terrorist" and accusing him of the killing of hostages in Gaza. Watch this video to know what all happened to Ben Gvir.“

„The retaliation launched by Israel after the Hamas attack on October 7 changed in nature with the reoccupation of Gaza three weeks later, and then again on May 6 with the ongoing offensive in Rafah, writes historian Jean-Pierre Filiu in his column.“
#Israel struck #Gaza on June 17 and witnesses reported blasts in the besieged territory’s south, but fighting has largely subsided after a day of relative calm and as Muslims marked #EidAlAdha
A daytime “pause” for aid deliveries announced at the weekend by Israel’s military around a southern Gaza route appeared to be holding.
Lull in Gaza fighting as Israel dissolves #WarCabinet
https://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-east/lull-in-gaza-fighting-as-biden-urges-truce-in-eid-message
But the 2 fmr generals resigned last wk, & #Netanyahu has not said whether he will reconstitute the #WarCabinet. His close advisers now lack the political breadth & #military experience the war cabinet had, & the stature of #Gantz.
Here is a look at who he is likely to turn to:
Yoav Gallant, defense minister; Ron Dermer, #Israel’s minister for strategic affairs; Tzachi Hanegbi, Netanyahu’s national security adviser; Aryeh Deri, leader of an ultra-Orthodox Sephardic party.
Having dissolved his #WarCabinet, PM #Netanyahu of #Israel will rely on an informal group of his closest advisers in making decisions about the #Gaza war.
Netanyahu created the war cabinet, a 5-person body, after the #Hamas attacks Oct7.
2 fmr military chiefs of staff, #BennyGantz & #GadiEisenkot, of the #centrist opposition to the #RightWing govt, joined, giving it an air of consensus & credibility.
⬆️ >> Is #Netanyahu no longer in control of his military?
#Israeli officials say #Bibi has dissolved the #WarCabinet after #BennyGantz bolted government over frustrations surrounding Bibi's handling of the war
Gantz’s absence from the government makes Netanyahu more dependent on his ultranationalist allies
"going forward Netanyahu would hold smaller forums… where far-right partners who oppose #ceaseFire deals and have voiced support for reoccupying #Gaza, are members"
#israel #Palestine #gaza #middleeast #Netanyahu #bennygantz #warcabinet
“Israeli officials said Monday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dissolved the influential War Cabinet that was tasked with steering the war in Gaza.
The War Cabinet was dissolved following the departure from the government of Benny Gantz, an opposition lawmaker who had joined the coalition in the early days of the war. He had demanded that a small Cabinet be formed as a way to sideline far-right lawmakers in Netanyahu’s government. Gantz, Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant were its members and made key decisions together throughout the war.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the change with the media, said that going forward Netanyahu would hold smaller forums with some of his government members for sensitive issues.”
A long-festering split at the heart of #Israel’s #WarCabinet has burst into the open with the defence minister, #YoavGallant, challenging the prime minister, Benjamin #Netanyahu, to come up with plans for the “day after” the war in #Gaza, and saying he would not permit any solution where Israeli military or civil governance were in the territory.

Protesters blocked streets in Tel Aviv today, calling for #Netanyahu's #WarCabinet to negotiate & prioritize the hostages.
"“The ground invasion is killing the hostages,” said Udi Goren, whose cousin was killed by Hamas, told CNN"
"Among the demonstrators was Noam Tibon, a retired IDF major general who made headlines for personally driving south on October 7 to rescue his family from Hamas militants...“The clock is ticking, & it’s against the hostages,” he said.
Terrible interview from #SkyNews with a member of the #WarCabinet in #Israel. Really a rare chance wasted.
But it's not the point I want to make. I'm onto this:
If Israel truely wants the civilians from #Gaza to get out of harms way, why doesn't it? There is space in Israel, rest of the World would bring ressources. Why can't the civilians temporarily leave Gaza into Israel and hence not be hostages of Hamas anymore?
Why not take them their greatest asset away - hate.
