The Spin
Left narrative
Both Gallant and Gantz have now expressed no confidence in Netanyahu, as they have finally concluded that the prime minister is ready to further drag Israel into Gaza without any strategy for ending the war. This would end misguided political impetus under any other circumstances but, as it stands, War Cabinet ministers will insist on giving Netanyahu a last chance, and he will refrain from firing them. For now, these claims are purely rhetoric.
Right narrative
Given that Israeli soldiers are currently fighting throughout Gaza — particularly in Rafah — to destroy Hamas, Gantz should have issued an ultimatum to the terror group instead of trying to exert further pressure on the Netanyahu government. If a post-war plan came to be even similar to what he proposed, the war would end in a defeat for Israel and a victory for Hamas.
Pro-Palestine narrative
Ever since Israel launched its aggressive campaign against Gaza to — as it does in the West Bank and East Jerusalem —control every aspect of Palestinian life and make innocent civilians suffer, questions have emerged over how long the Israeli occupation and attacks will last. Netanyahu did present some plans for the Strip earlier this month, but they were so unrealistic and dramatic that they failed to impress anyone abroad, or even his fellow War Cabinet members.
