The New York Times reported that Israel’s top generals are advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza.

A report says Israel’s top generals are advocating a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, amid fears of a potential war with the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.

The New York Times, citing multiple Israeli officials, reported on Tuesday that the generals seek to begin a truce in Gaza even if it keeps the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas in power for the time being.

The report said the generals think the regime’s forces need time to recuperate in case a bigger war breaks out against Hezbollah, given that Israel is unequipped for further fighting after its months-long war in Gaza.

A truce with Hamas could also facilitate a deal with Hezbollah, the Israeli officials said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

    According to the New York Times report, the generals’ stance has reportedly created a rift between the military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has firmly rejected any ceasefire proposal in Gaza.

    Military coup in Israel? Is there a possibility? If the occupation military becomes too depleted to fight against Hezbollah, then that would be a very dangerous situation for the Zionist project and the generals would probably want to avoid that scenario at all costs.

        Wdym… do you think Bibi’s got a fucking militia for himself…?

        The military officers can easily coup Bibi’s ass, if you ask me, since he’s without such protection…

          My point is that there’s been a lot of internal friction between the military and the ruling political parties, which have produced civil wars and military coups already. I think there’s already a tension about a potential coup, but the risk to political legitimacy is huge if not done cleanly. Dismissing his entire war cabinet probably speaks to that.
