Why it matters:
As the war drags on, domestic criticism is growing in the occupied territories—not only over the mounting casualties but also over the regime's apparent indifference toward the families of captives and the mental toll on soldiers. The absence of a long-term plan could deepen political instability and problems among the Israeli settlers.
The big picture:
Netanyahu’s war cabinet faces growing distrust in the occupied territories as captive families and reservists express frustration over the lack of progress.
The report says the goal of the war on Gaza is to keep Netanyahu’s coalition in power. But the real problem is that the government has no strategic vision for ending the war or rescuing the captives.
Context:
Amidst the Israeli war cabinet's failure to achieve its goal in its war on Gaza, suicide among the Israeli toops is reported increasing.
