Leadership Without Vision: Netanyahu and the Politics of Delay
As Gaza has turned into a theater for endless, fruitless conflict, Benjamin Netanyahu continues to avoid making crucial decisions. This "politics of delay" has not only destabilized the army's operational lines but also deeply polarized the domestic political landscape. The government is caught between extremist factions and a pragmatic military establishment, a contradiction that renders any decisive action fraught with questions of legitimacy.
A Strategy That Doesn’t Exist: Confusion Over Objectives Two Years after the War
The Zionist regime has yet to articulate a clear goal for its military campaign in Gaza. Neither has Hamas been toppled, nor has deterrence been restored, nor have the captives been freed. The absence of any "success indicators" underscores a strategic impasse that has cast a shadow not only over the military but over Israeli society as a whole. This failure to define a vision carries serious consequences for Tel Aviv's regional standing.
Grinding battles and the mounting costs of repetitive military operations—often in the same areas—have, according to many analysts, yielded little more than troop exhaustion and growing public discontent. Gaza, Rafah, Shifa, and the Philadelphi Corridor have become symbols of futile back-and-forth campaigns, while Palestinian resistance remains active and, in fact, appears to have the upper hand in both diplomatic and media arenas.
Unstable Borders, Polarized Society
While security threats have spread from Gaza to the West Bank, northern occupied Palestine, the Red Sea, and even into the cyber domain, the "domestic security" that Netanyahu had promised remains elusive. Internal divisions within the government, an inability to decide between ceasefire or continued war, and the widening gap between the public and security institutions paint a picture of a society grappling with a crisis of trust and mounting doubt.
