Eyal Zamir

“Israel demands the release of all 50 hostages in accordance with the principles set by the cabinet for ending the war,” a senior political source said.

Female combat soldiers currently serve in a variety of combat units, not just in support roles but at the core of operational defense.

In the coming days, ground forces, accompanied by the Air Force, will begin moving toward new areas to increase pressure on Hamas.

Eyal Zamir: The ongoing operation “has achieved its objectives, Hamas no longer possesses the same capabilities it had before the operation; we dealt a severe blow.”

The poll measured public satisfaction with three key figures at the center of decision-making: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.

If the government pressure finally pushes Eyal Zamir to quit, it will just be another victory in the October 7 coalition’s campaign to deflect blame.

I hope that Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, the last reasonable voice around the cabinet table, fully understands the magnitude of the move being plotted against him.

Israel has not ruled out the possibility of sending a delegation for talks on a potential deal, but has made clear that no decision has been made yet.

“We can’t leave a single book in schools unchecked. They teach there in textbooks how to rape Jewish women and behead people,” he said.

Following Eyal Zamir's "sin" of speaking his mind about a new policy, he appears to have turned into the prime minister's new main target for blame.

Zamir's approval comes amid rising tensions between the IDF top brass and Netanyahu's government, after the IDF chief expressed concern over the planned operation.
