BOMBSHELL: "IT'S NOT HAMAS COLLAPSING BUT ISRAEL"
■ Yitzhak Brik, former IDF Major General, argues that it is Israel, not Hamas, that is on the verge of collapse due to the prolonged conflict.
■ The stated goals of "bringing Hamas to collapse" and "freeing all hostages by military pressure" have not been achieved.
■ Continued fighting in Gaza is seen as futile and potentially counterproductive.
■ The IDF is described as growing weaker with each passing day, with increasing casualties. Many reservists are refusing to be redrafted, and conscripted soldiers are exhausted and losing skills due to lack of training.
■ The war is severely damaging Israel's economy, international relations, and social cohesiveness. The IDF lacks sufficient forces to fight on multiple fronts simultaneously.
■ Hamas remains in control of most of its tunnel network.
He argues that the IDF has only destroyed a small percentage of Hamas's tunnels.
■ Brik advocates for agreeing to a hostage deal and stopping the war in Gaza immediately. He calls for replacing the entire political and military leadership implicated in the "terrible failure" of October 7, 2023.
