Hebrew media: Sharp disagreement between Netanyahu and the army over the timing of the Gaza attack and the hostages.

Channel 12 revealed deep disagreements between the political level in Tel Aviv, led by the occupying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the military institution of the occupation regarding the timeline for the anticipated military operation in the city of Gaza. While the political level is pushing to accelerate the attack, the occupying army emphasizes the necessity of acting responsibly and cautiously to avoid a 'strategic trap.'

These disagreements come at a critical time, as discussions continue regarding a new prisoner exchange deal. There are increasing calls within the security apparatus to prioritize the return of the detainees over any large-scale military action, reflecting a divergence in priorities between politicians and military officials.

The security apparatus of the occupation clarified that there are four strategic constraints that must be considered before giving the green light for any attack. These constraints include the safety of the detainees, as there are fears that any large-scale ground attack could put the lives of the prisoners in direct danger.

Additionally, the constraints include the safety of the occupying soldiers, as the operation requires careful and thoughtful planning to minimize casualties among the attacking forces. Furthermore, there is a huge logistical and humanitarian challenge represented by the evacuation of about one million Palestinians from the city.

International legitimacy also plays an important role, as it is essential to maintain international cover and support for the operation, which could quickly erode in the event of a humanitarian disaster. The occupying army asserts that its position is not about 'time-wasting,' but rather an insistence on 'thoughtful preparation' to ensure the success of the operation.

In a related context, the Hebrew channel revealed that discussions regarding the prisoner exchange deal are ongoing, and that Hamas has expressed a willingness to reach an agreement under the same terms that Netanyahu approved two months ago, but later retracted his approval.

This development reinforces the impression that Netanyahu may prefer a military solution for internal political reasons, even with a real opportunity to reach a diplomatic deal. Amid this debate, the Hebrew channel quoted an official from the occupation emphasizing the necessity of giving the highest priority to the detainee issue.

This voice reflects an increasing current within Israel that sees time running out, and that any uncalculated military adventure could eliminate the last chance to return the detainees alive.
