In recent developments, Israel's military leaders are indicating that the country has reached its military limits in Lebanon and Gaza, urging politicians to pursue a diplomatic resolution. This shift in approach coincides with Lebanon's prime minister hinting at a potential ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel. Additionally, both US presidential candidates have expressed their desire to avoid conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon upon assuming office.
During a meeting with officers in northern Gaza, the Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces suggested that the military operations in both regions should come to a close. He emphasized the possibility of a decisive conclusion in the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon and noted the potential for significant progress in Gaza.
The question now revolves around defining what constitutes achievement in these conflicts. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed for 'absolute victory,' his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, has dismissed this notion as unrealistic. Gallant has criticized the concept of absolute victory in Gaza, labeling it as nonsensical during a parliamentary committee meeting in August.
