00:00 Cracks within the IDF ahead of the Major Rafah offensive.

00:06 Questions on Netanyahu�s Hassen�s Gaza plan.

00:11 Senior IDF commanders questions the dynamic of Israel�s war preparedness.

00:18 The top current and former military officials are increasingly vocal about their concerns

00:23 regarding the lack of post-war plan in Gaza.

00:27 According to media reports, the officials argue that without a clear strategy for what

00:31 comes after fighting, Israeli troops are finding themselves repeatedly engaged in battle to

00:36 reclaim areas in the northern part of the territory where Hamas militants have re-emerged.

00:41 With ceasefire negotiations at a standstill and no apparent end to this cycle, the risks

00:46 for soldiers are escalating.

00:49 According to two Israeli officials who requested anonymity to avoid repercussions, some generals

00:54 and members of the war cabinet are therefore frustrated with Netanyahu�s failure to articulate

00:59 and implement a plan to establish an alternative governance structure to Hamas in Gaza.

01:04 They assert that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu�s reluctance to address the day-after scenario

01:09 has facilitated Hamas� resurgence in places like Jabalia in northern Gaza where Israel

01:14 initiated attacks in October.

01:16 Even this week, Israel launched an offensive in the same area along with Rafah, highlighting

01:21 the ongoing challenges exacerbated by the absence of a comprehensive post-war strategy.

01:27 Aaron Larman, who served as Israel�s Deputy National Security Adviser from 2006 to 2015,

01:34 also suggested that the international criticism Israel faces right now regarding the conflict

01:39 is due to escalating casualties among Palestinians in Gaza and the perceived lack of clear planning

01:45 for the aftermath.

01:46 Netanyahu has resisted calls to halt the hostilities, asserting that Gaza cannot have a civilian

01:52 administration until Hamas is eradicated.

01:56 In a recent podcast interview too, Netanyahu asserted that Gaza must first undergo sustained

02:01 demilitarisation by Israel before any sort of international intervention.

02:05 However, doubts are growing about Israel�s ability to achieve such an ambitious objective

02:10 because there is a growing chorus of voices within the military questioning the government�s

02:15 approach.

02:16 Although the Israeli strategist anticipates further military operations in certain areas

02:20 of Gaza, according to two Israeli officials, establishing a new governing body in Gaza

02:25 may complicate matters for Hamas and potentially ease the burden of Israeli military.

02:30 But for Netanyahu, the political consideration involves trying to hold together a government

02:35 of right-wing parties that have demanded an all-out assault on Gaza over American objections

02:42 and are unwilling to support what Arab countries have demanded as a precoce for their help

02:47 in Gaza, a path to a Palestinian state.

02:51 This is the reason why Israel remains adamant about the Rafah offensive.

02:55 If Netanyahu veers too far from their demands, they have threatened to topple the government,

03:01 which may leave Netanyahu to face a series of corruption allegations.
