Netanyahu and Israeli Military at Odds Over Gaza War Strategy

A major rift has emerged between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the country’s military leadership over the future of the Gaza conflict.
Netanyahu initially pushed for a full reoccupation of Gaza, but top Israeli Defense Forces officials warned of severe humanitarian consequences and strategic risks.
The compromise plan involves occupying 85% of Gaza City, forcing the civilian population into the remaining 15% of the territory. The internal dispute reveals growing pressure on Israel’s war cabinet to balance military goals with international scrutiny and humanitarian concerns.
