In a scathing and rare analysis, prominent Israeli political analyst Ben Caspit dismantled the "victory" narrative promoted by Benjamin Netanyahu's government following the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, asserting that the Prime Minister did not succeed in ending the war with his decision, but instead called upon the "big brother" - U.S. President Donald Trump - to untangle the Gaza knot, then attributed the credit to himself and Trump together, while the reality on the ground is far from a "decisive victory."
Caspit accused Netanyahu of repeating past mistakes by arming "gangs" to confront Hamas and then allowing them to be crushed, and by agreeing to terms in the agreement that he had rejected for years, all for the sake of political survival and evading judicial accountability.
According to Caspit, Netanyahu knew that the war had been exhausted for some time and that each additional day costs blood, money, and international standing, but he feared the collapse of his coalition under the pressure from Ben Gvir and Smotrich.
