On the way to a third intifada: In the IDF they are furious - "Netanyahu made a red cap for Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir"

Senior IDF officials warn that actions by Ben Gvir and Zvi Sukkot could ignite a third intifada. According to them, Netanyahu exploited a visit to the Central Command to present the Chief of Staff and the military in a negative light, in a political exercise at the expense of the army.

Senior IDF officials are furious with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom they accuse of a political exercise at the expense of the military. According to a senior military source, Netanyahu arrived for a brief visit to the Central Command with the Defense Minister on two hours' notice, after Ben Gvir performed a political exercise in Tel Aviv with the Altalena story. During the visit, Netanyahu asked Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir a question regarding preparedness for a "reversal of nests" in the West Bank, a question that, according to the officer, could not be answered on the spot. The officer claims that Netanyahu's office briefed journalists in order to present the Chief of Staff and the military in a negative light, and that Netanyahu "made a red cap for the Chief of Staff." Furthermore, the IDF warns that actions by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and MK Zvi Sukkot could ignite a third intifada. The military is tense across all sectors, the Paratroopers Brigade has been moved from Gaza to the West Bank, and there is a need to flood the area with another regular brigade. The soldiers are not expected to go home for the holidays, and reservists will be held in large numbers. A security source said that the Defense Minister demands to conquer more refugee camps, while the army is tired and the soldiers are squeezed in the Gaza and Lebanon sectors.
