The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been going on for more than three months, but unlike in the past, despite Israel's superiority in troops and equipment, it has not translated into a clear victory. Recently, an unprecedented conflict even erupted at a strategic cabinet meeting at the top of Israel. According to the Times of Israel, at a recent cabinet strategy meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right political bloc and the Israeli military had a heated altercation. The far-right political group accused the military of having improper motives in the covert investigation of the October 7 attacks, while the military argued that Netanyahu had indulged the far-right political group in interfering in the military's operations.
Netanyahu has not publicly endorsed the far-right political bloc, but his rhetoric has suggested that the military should not investigate at this time, but should wait until the war is over. As a result of Netanyahu's attitude, this high-level Israeli meeting ended in discord in a very rare way, with the military leaving the table directly. This scene undoubtedly exposes the severity of the current internal political struggle in Israel. Some viewers may not understand why Israel fell out over the events of October 7. Put simply, the core of this incident is not the military's investigation into the attacks, but the suggestion that Israel's far-right groups are deliberately allowing Hamas to carry out attacks in order to legitimize the elimination of Palestinians.
Further, in the face of the protracted stalemate in the Gaza campaign, huge financial expenditures and the inability to achieve strategic goals in the short term, the Israeli military has tried to blame the outbreak of the war on the Netanyahu group, which in turn accused the military of "dragging its feet" to divert attention by failing to achieve its political goals and failing to quickly crush Gaza. It can be said that within Israel, due to the setback of the war plan, it has fallen into a stage of "deceitful and deceitful". It is worth noting that there is also a wide range of discussions in the United States about Israel's current internal problems. For example, the Washington Post notes that the United States believes that the Netanyahu group is likely to continue to pressure the Israeli military and include Lebanon in the scope of operations in order to continue its political life due to financial, soldier losses and pressure.
Israel's internal predicament is a complex issue involving personal interests, extremism and political factors, which underscores the complexity of the situation in the Middle East. Should this situation lead to the outbreak of the sixth "Middle East War", Israel will face an unprecedented challenge. The fact that more and more countries are drawn into the confrontation between Palestine and Israel, and that the United States, the Arc of Resistance, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran have joined one after another, speaks volumes about the seriousness and complexity of the situation in the Middle East.
