Yitzhak Barik: You cannot trust Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Galant and Herzi Halevi

As long as the decisions at the political level and the military level are made out of emotions, narrow interests, politics, beliefs, ideology, ego, smugness and arrogance, and not the plain truth and realistic politics (real politics) – we will not be able to get out of the labyrinth into which the political level and the military level have wrongfully put us. They act this way due to the lack of strategic vision, because of running away from the truth and the necessity of using forces in war based on hallucinations and illusions, and of course – due to the intense desire of the political echelon to survive politically at any cost.

“Complete destruction of Hamas” is a delusion without purpose. Even entering Rafah and destroying the four battalions will not bring the hoped-for result, but the opposite is true. This destruction will bring the State of Israel to a lower position than South Africa in the years when it had a policy of racial separation (apartheid), and Israel’s collapse from the global boycott, which is already evident on the ground, will intensify.

The more we continue to wade through the Gaza desert, we will lose more soldiers, we will lose the abductees, we will lose the security of the country’s citizens, we will lose Israel’s economy, we will lose our friends in the world and we will lose ourselves to know. In the regional war that will break out in the future, because it is only a matter of time – for which we are not prepared, and we are not preparing for its outbreak even now.

We are losing our ability to deal with the main and existential threats facing us to destroy the State of Israel. We are standing by even though the Iranian nuclear is advancing at a crazy pace because there is no one to hinder its progress, and every day we are threatened by the agreed (conventional) weapons of hundreds of thousands of missiles, rockets and UAVs in the hands of Iran and its proxies.

These threats are hundreds of thousands of times more serious than the Hamas threat. The focus of Bibi and a friend of his on the cliché of “the complete destruction of Hamas” and his complete abandonment of dealing with the nuclear threat that is growing dizzyingly before our eyes, including the agreed upon threat whose result (effect) is like a nuclear bomb without nuclear fallout – will bring upon us the destruction of the third house. The way Bibi, Galant and Hertzi Halevi are leading the war, we will find ourselves for many more years without the decision of Hamas, and Hezbollah will continue to prevent the return of residents to the northern settlements.

The same will happen regarding the southern settlements; We will continue to keep hundreds of thousands of reservists and hundreds of thousands of displaced people. This will be the collapse of the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of residents, and with them the collapse of the state’s economy. And at the same time the collapse of Israel’s security in the face of the nuclear threat and the conventional weapons. for which we are neither ready nor preparing now.

From time to time the Prime Minister appears on the television channels and tells the people that if we do not enter Rafah and take control of Hamas, the threat posed by Hamas to Israel will be unbearable. The man has completely lost his rational thinking, or he is just working on us with his eyes. In order to enter the fighting in Rafah, the Americans determined that a new tent city should be established in a safe place to which 1.4 million refugees would be evacuated.

The Americans added and said that the construction of this tent city would take between a few weeks and a few months, and this would be a necessary condition without which the US would not allow the IDF to enter the fighting in Rafah. If Bibi really intended to enter Rafah, we should have already seen weeks ago the construction of the tent city in the area, which can be set up even during Ramadan.

The absence of any sign of the beginning of the construction of the tent city indicates Bibi’s real reluctance to enter Rafah, realizing that it would involve entanglement with our friendship in the world in general and with the US in particular, including Egypt and the entire Arab world. Therefore, all his intentions in Bibi’s statements regarding entering Rafah were aimed at gaining political time and staying in power. He is not interested in reaching a ceasefire so that the war does not end even if the price is a very heavy blood price of the loss of the abductees and everything I listed above.

While Bibi makes his statements on television, the nuclear threat and the conventional (conventional) threat to Israel are intensifying, threats that have the potential to destroy the country. Bibi does not mention this even in a single word. He also ignores the country’s preparation for this existential threat, which could bring us to the destruction of the third house. Furthermore, even if Hamas had not been harmed at all, and had remained at the peak of its power as it was before the war – it would not have been an existential threat to the State of Israel.

How, then, can it be explained that Bibi Netanyahu laid down all the cards and threw all his heart into the threats of Hamas, which are null and void compared to the threats I mentioned. The answer is survival and a little politics to gain a few more months in power even though he and his accomplices are dragging the entire nation to destruction.

But with Bibi, Defense Minister Galant and Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi walk hand in hand. I do not trust their judgment, the lack of rational thinking of the three, is reflected in several events – the first of which is the event of the Hamas attack on the settlements surrounding Gaza on 7.10.23. The judgment of the three was disgraceful in light of all the intelligence they had for a year.

As our southern border was promiscuous, so was our northern border promiscuous. If Hezbollah had attacked us in the north at the same time as Hamas, we would have been in an all-out regional war today that would have caused Israel destruction and a terrible disaster, we simply had a miracle that it didn’t happen.

The second incident of irrational judgment was, when the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Defense recommended to the Prime Minister a illusory and irresponsible recommendation of the first order, to launch a simultaneous attack on the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in the north, even if this scenario had happened, it would have brought Israel into a terrible regional war, It is simply a recommendation that is a bet on the existence of the state.

The next incident of irrational judgment by the three was in the deployment of forces in the Gaza Strip. The entrance to Rafah was left for the end instead of at the beginning of the war, something that will probably cost the State of Israel very heavy prices if it enters Rafah, without being able to “collapse Hamas completely”.

The last incident in which I do not give credit to the judgment of Bibi, Galant and Hatzi Halevi is – the reference of the three to the war against Hezbollah, one unwise decision of theirs can set the whole Middle East on fire.

I am very afraid that their way of acting and their lack of rational thinking could drag Israel into a regional war. The conclusion is one and there is no need to release them from their position as soon as possible.
