Former operatives from Israel's Mossad have openly criticized the ongoing war in Gaza, urging the government to prioritize the return of hostages taken by Hamas over military actions. Their letter, signed by over 250 former figures, indicates a rising discontent with Prime Minister Netanyahu's strategy, positing that military actions serve his political ambitions more than national security. With concerns for the safety of soldiers and hostages alike, former air force reservists and intelligence members argue that decisions are politically funded, risking lives for coalition appeasement, particularly among far-right parties.
The letter decried the amping-up of Israeli strikes and ground operations in Gaza as driven by the personal interests of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Critics allege Netanyahu's decision to return to war in Gaza is to appease far-right parties in his coalition, risking hostages' and soldiers' lives.
