A key member of Israel’s war cabinet has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of not telling the truth about the military goals in Gaza.
Mr Netanyahu has publicly rejected the US push for a future Palestinian state and insisted the offensive would continue “until complete victory”.
But Gadi Eisenkot said those advocating “absolute defeat” of Hamas were not “speaking the truth”.
The retired general’s son was killed fighting in Gaza.
He also said Mr Netanyahu shared “sharp and clear responsibility” for failing to protect his country on 7 October and urged fresh elections, saying there was “no trust” in Israel’s current leadership.
Hamas killed around 1,300 people and took 240 hostages in their surprise attack on southern Israel.
Tensions among the cabinet, with reports that the prime minister and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant are barely on speaking terms, come as the chasm between Israel and its Western allies widens.
Eisenkot means in german: Ironshit.
Named as such because the entire family has been constipated for generations.
🤔
Eisen meaning iron.
And Kot meaning vomit.
The phrase “zum kotzen” got burned into my memory decades ago.
Kot means feces.
False friend though. Kot means poop. Hundekot -> dog poop.
Kotzen comes from Kotze, which is vomit.
