in the past few hours on evaluating the army's performance in its war on Gaza,

shows have discussed the war's effects and the issue of those held in the
sector on the political future of
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to Jo 24, Israeli media has focused on the
increasing numbers of casualties in the army, and the government's significant
reservation about releasing the numbers, with Channel 14's anchor stating that
the media largely avoids discussing them.
Retired officer Yaakov Borovsky remarked, "We are not
in a round or a battle, but in a long and difficult war with very high
costs." Analyst Coby Sankler, military analyst on "Kol Hai"
radio, mentioned an incident where
Israeli forces observed a saboteur
(resistance member) inside a house in Gaza. The situation was arranged, and an
Apache helicopter, which was close to them, was sent to deal with him. However,
the house where the soldiers were mistakenly targeted was struck.
Gadi Yarkoni, head of the Ashkelon Regional Council, stated
that Israel has 137 captives (prisoners and detainees) and 1347 dead in one
day, in addition to a large number of soldiers who fell during the battles,
whose exact number is unknown.
Regarding the internal government stance, political
correspondent Tsfi Avdia mentioned that 72 percent of Israelis believe the
prime minister should resign. He added that a small portion believes
Netanyahu should resign immediately, while the majority thinks he should resign after the
war.
In an unprecedented and dramatic situation, analysts have
argued that Netanyahu, his wife, son, and government ministers "cannot
leave their homes." Guy Bilgo, a political analyst, stated that Netanyahu
went on a jog last week near his home in Caesarea, and his neighbor cursed him
with severe insults. According to Bilgo, videos of the incident exist but were
requested not to be published.
Regarding the stance on a swap deal, former Mossad chief
Tamir Pardo, on Channel 12, said that Israel's security leadership "did
not understand that there were hostages" and dealt with destroying Hamas
and disarming it from the first moment of the war. Pardo added, "The
government and the security apparatus neglected or betrayed the citizens of the
State of Israel. They betrayed the basic agreement with them."
When asked if he would accept stopping the war in exchange
for returning everyone in the hands of the resistance, Pardo replied,
"Certainly, because the priority is to recover these individuals."
