Global newspapers: Netanyahu is an unethical politician and his army is being drained in Gaza.

Many global newspapers have addressed the developments of the war in the Gaza Strip, with some indicating that the occupying army is suffering from significant depletion within its ranks. This depletion comes at a time when pressure is increasing on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is facing growing calls for his removal from office.

In an article published in Yedioth Ahronoth, writer Sefer Bloker described Netanyahu as having become a symbol of corrupt politics, noting that hundreds of thousands of Israelis are protesting in the streets demanding his ousting. This situation reflects a state of public dissatisfaction with his leadership.

As for The Times, it discussed the crisis of depletion in the occupying army, pointing to the heavy reliance on reserve soldiers. This crisis has been exacerbated by the refusal of ultra-Orthodox Jews to join military service, prompting the army to seek volunteers from Jewish communities abroad.

In a related context, the Jerusalem Post published an article by Osnat Korach, the CEO of the "Shamir" Medical Center, where she described the situation as a "pandemic of national trauma." She explained that the effects of wars impact returning soldiers, who suffer from psychological trauma despite returning with intact bodies.

In another article, Ahmed Kamal Janina, head of the English Department at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza, wrote about his personal suffering amid the difficult conditions faced by Palestinians. He noted that hunger, sadness, and homelessness affect his ability to think and create.

On another note, The Wall Street Journal addressed former U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine, considering that this could prevent Russia from reigniting the conflict in the future. This reflects an increasing American interest in European security.

In conclusion, The Washington Post viewed that any peace agreement in Ukraine must be fair, warning that inaction could lead to an inappropriate normalization with Russia, which could spark a new war in the future.
