According to the German news agency on December 24, Isaac Herzog of Israel called on Israelis to unite during the war in Gaza. He warned that the internal ** would help the enemy.
According to the report, Herzog said in a speech to the nation on the evening of the 24th that the war against Hamas would be "difficult, arduous, long and painful."
"The enemy is waiting to see the rift within us, waiting for us to start attacking each other," he said. They also see conflicts, arguments, struggles between egos, political conflicts – both before and after the war. When they see the rift between us, they cheer and celebrate. ”
Herzog was referring to reports of tensions between Israel's political and military leadership, the report said.
Unlike Defense Minister Gallant and Israeli intelligence leaders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far not admitted personal responsibility for failing to prevent the October 7 Hamas attack.
Critics accuse Netanyahu of operating behind the scenes, shifting the blame to others, including the military leadership.
Herzog said: "We must not go back to the October 6 discussion," the report added. "The attack comes at a time when there are deep divisions within Israel over Netanyahu's far-right** controversial plan for judicial reform.
Herzog said anyone who tries to do so "is undermining the war effort and the sense of security of its own citizens." (Compiled by Madan).
