Wider Gaza Aggression ’Will Cost Us Blood’, Warns ’Israeli’ Reserve General

By Staff, Agencies

A major general of "Israel’s" military reserve has warned that the recent decision to expand the ongoing genocidal war on the Gaza Strip will claim the lives of more "Israelis" for the sake of the political survival of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Yair Golan made the remarks in an X post on Monday, a day after "Israel's" so-called security cabinet unanimously approved a new plan to expand attacks in Gaza and occupy additional areas throughout the besieged Palestinian territory.

He said the decision to expand the offensive was made “not to maintain "Israel’s" security, but to save Netanyahu" and his extremist cabinet.

The occupation army’s only role is to protect "Israelis," not serve political goals, added Golan, who also heads the opposition Democrats party.

The actual occupation of the Strip in the name of survival "will cost us blood – in the lives of the captives, in the lives of male and female soldiers, in exhaustion, and most importantly: in losing our way."

The criticism came after "Israel's" so-called security cabinet approved the phased plan for the brutal "Israeli" onslaught that involves conducting “powerful strikes” across Gaza, occupying more areas, and forcibly displacing Palestinians to the territory's south.

The forum representing the families of "Israeli" captives said in a statement that the plan is the acknowledgement by the entity that it is choosing to occupy more territory over releasing captives.

The cabinet also approved, in principle, a framework for the future distribution of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip via private foreign firms. 

Far-right "Israeli" minister Itamar Ben-Gvir opposed the resumption of aid deliveries into Gaza, claiming that "there's enough food" there.
