In its discussions, the Israeli media highlighted developments in the West Bank against the backdrop of a warning addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the danger of a confrontation there, in addition to the repercussions of the army’s inability to achieve the war’s goals.
The Israeli Internal Security Service (Shin Bet) warned Netanyahu “of the danger of the West Bank catching fire very soon.”
Channel 13 political correspondent Tzivi Ovadeva spoke about a “strategic warning” issued by the Shin Bet and conveyed personally to Netanyahu, confirming that there is “a real fear of a fire in the West Bank, due to the economic pressure that is worsening in the West Bank due to the failure to bring thousands of Palestinian workers to work inside Israel, which has caused great damage.” “For the economy there,” and also “because of the non-payment of tax funds to the Palestinian Authority that it withholds, which leads to reductions in the salaries of the Palestinian security services.”
According to the political correspondent, the Israelis fear that the weapons, which are in the hands of the Palestinian Authority with an Israeli license, will be transferred against the Israelis and settlers in the West Bank.
On the other hand, the discussion on Israeli Channel 13 focused on the issue of the inability of the Netanyahu government and the Israeli army to achieve the goals of the war in the Gaza Strip.
Danny Danon – a member of the Knesset and a member of the Likud Party’s Foreign and Security Committee – acknowledged that the Israelis are far from achieving the war goals, and said, “If the prime minister and the mini-cabinet do not succeed in achieving the war goals, these achievements must be achieved through an alternative leadership.”
He called on Danon to “think about returning to the force with which Israel started the war on Gaza, because otherwise Sinwar will appear and say, ‘I am still here and everything will return to how it was before,’ and this is dangerous for the State of Israel.”
Regarding the prosecution of Israel in the International Court of Justice, Danon pointed out that “there is an anti-Semitic indictment submitted by South Africa and being exploited by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas),” admitting that “unfortunately, they have succeeded a lot, because we are now talking about the extermination of a people.”
