Says, country galloping towards the edge of an abyss<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retired Israeli Major General Yitzhak Brik warned on Thursday that Israel could face \u201ccollapse within a year\u201d if its current war against Palestinian group Hamas and Lebanese movement Hezbollah continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe country really is galloping towards the edge of an abyss,\u201d Brik said in an opinion piece published by Israeli daily Haaretz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf the war of attrition against Hamas and Hezbollah continues, Israel will collapse within no more than a year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Israeli army has launched a brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since an October 7 Hamas attack, killing nearly 40,300 people, mostly women and children, and injuring over 93,100 others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The onslaught has triggered months of cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and Israel amid fears of a full-blown war between the two sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brik cast doubts on claims of Israeli officials about Hamas’s surrender and that its leader Yahya Sinwar would be caught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost of the pretentious declarations made by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant throughout the war in Gaza have proven to be groundless,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith these pronouncements, Gallant, along with his colleagues IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been throwing dust in the eyes of the Israeli public,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retired general said that Gallant has begun to realize that \u201cthe concept of total victory in Gaza is nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt seems that he has begun to realize that failing to reach a hostage deal with Hamas would lead to a regional war that would put Israel in serious danger,\u201d Brik said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for a potential hostage swap deal with Hamas, he said it has \u201cbecome impossible\u201d to achieve what Israel could have gained earlier with a cease-fire deal \u201cdue to the new conditions that Netanyahu introduced into the proposed deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For months, the US, Qatar, and Egypt have been trying to reach an agreement between Israel and Hamas to ensure a prisoner exchange and cease-fire and allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. However, mediation efforts have been stalled due to Netanyahu\u2019s refusal to meet Hamas\u2019s demands to stop the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip following an attack by Hamas last Oct. 7, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Israeli blockade of Gaza has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered a halt to military operations in the southern city of Rafah, where over one million Palestinians had sought refuge before the area was invaded on May 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
