Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir engaged in a series of intense disputes over the strategy and humanitarian approach to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Reports from Israeli media outlets including Channel 12, Channel 13, and Yedioth Ahronoth detailed heated exchanges during high-level security meetings involving senior ministers and military officials. Netanyahu demanded the preparation of a plan for the mass evacuation of southern Gaza, emphasizing a firm stance against Hamas. In contrast, Zamir expressed concerns about the Israel Defense Forces' ability to control the densely populated Gaza Strip, stating that the military could not manage the two million residents effectively. Additionally, ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir criticized the military for not fully implementing political directives and opposed the entry of aid into northern Gaza. The disagreements also extended to the establishment and management of humanitarian zones within Gaza, with Netanyahu and Zamir clashing over the approach. Zamir responded sharply to criticism by highlighting the casualties suffered by soldiers in ongoing operations. These developments underscore deep divisions within Israel's leadership regarding the conduct and humanitarian considerations of the Gaza conflict.
