 Haaretz: Netanyahu Wants the Army Chief’s Head, So His Henchman Has Escalated the War Against the IDF

This has been a week of escalation. But not in the Gaza Strip, though soldiers continue to die there in the name of a goal that hasn’t been clear for a long time; not in Lebanon, where Israel is threatening to remain beyond the 60 days agreed on in the cease-fire deal; and not even in Iran, despite headlines about increasingly close American-Israeli coordination on the possibility of attacking its nuclear facilities.

The reasons have been known for some time. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz want to accelerate the departure (or even dismissal) of IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi so they can portray him as solely to blame for.. October 7, 2023. At the same time, they are waging a holding action against the appointment of a state commission of inquiry.

Katz’s crude attack on IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari on Wednesday was part of a complicated, deceptive move whose goal is to remove Halevi and Shin Bet security service director Ronen Bar…

Netanyahu fired former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant two months ago and replaced him with Katz to obtain full control over the Defense Ministry and, through it, to strengthen his grip on the IDF brass….

..These reports, as well as the ease with which Hamas fighters breached the Gaza border fence and the slow response of the air force and army, have led some Israelis to speculate that Netanyahu and others in Israeli intelligence and the military welcomed a Hamas attack.
