It is important to remember this evening: Israel has already operated in Gaza. We were in the same places and even then they announced that we were one step away from victory and that Israel intended to defeat Hamas. Therefore, the bottom line is, the citizens of Israel need to ask themselves what will happen this time that hasn't happened before and how is it possible that after so long we are back at the same point.

The most fighting thing about Netanyahu's press conference is the feeling that we've seen it before, more than once. This includes the talk about a last conflict, about a decision, about the desire to decide, about the atmosphere in the studios and about unknown security officials who didn't want to act. In my opinion, the story in which Netanyahu implies that both the world and Israel may have forgotten October 7 is not a story of cooling down. We've simply already been to this point. We've heard these things before. Netanyahu doesn't provide a convincing answer as to why Rafah was the last strong then, and Gaza is the last strong today. He didn't answer the question of whether the tribes were decided or not.
