Gallant Says Hamas & Hezbollah ‘No Longer Effective Tools of Iran’, Netanyahu Must Update War Goals

The long running feud between Israeli PM Netanyahu and his Number 2 Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has once again come to the fore. In a recent letter, Gallant has warned Netanyahu on the lack of war strategy and clear direction. Gallant expressed serious concerns that while the threats to Israel evolve, the war’s objectives have not kept pace. The Israeli defence minister has added that lack of strategy is leading to potential missteps in cabinet decision-making. Israel’s Channel 13 reported that Gallant sent the letter to Netanyahu and the security cabinet hours before Israel attacked Iran.
