Israeli army spokesman’s comments undermine ‘Netanyahu’s doctrine’ on Hamas’s destruction: Analyst

Israeli political analyst Akiva Eldar stated that the remarks by Israel’s army spokesman, Daniel Hagari, that "Hamas is an ideology" and "we cannot eliminate an ideology," have undermined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s doctrine that Hamas could be defeated "once and for all." Eldar explained that for the first time in many years, there is a noticeable escalation between Netanyahu's government and his team of unofficial supporters, who are criticising the chief of staff. This, according to Eldar, creates an apocalyptic scenario where the army spokesman, who reports to the chief of staff, undermines Netanyahu’s stance that the Hamas government in Gaza must be completely eradicated. Eldar emphasised that Hagari's comments challenge Netanyahu by implying that his belief in eliminating Hamas is unrealistic.
