https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/05dc17aa-14b4-4c08-9614-91f3d9aff527 970 Israeli air force reservists published a letter accusing their government of renewing the war on Gaza for "political and personal" interests rather than national security. Despite the government's threats to expel the signatories from Israel's military, they largely refused to retract their signatures, saying continued war would only lead to even more deaths of captives, soldiers and civilians. Their statements follow a wave of criticism accusing Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu of prioritising political gain over national security, particularly given his recent attempt to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and allegations that his close aides accepted money from Qatar's government in exchange for favourable media campaigns. They also follow increasing combat fatigue among Israeli reservists called up to serve yet again, as senior security officials have warned of a recruitment crisis in Israel's military. So, why are Israelis increasingly frustrated with a war that was initially so popular, and are their suspicions of the government's motives well-founded?
