Israel new army Chief Eyal Zamir says that Hamas’s mission ‘was not realized’ | Gaza news

Going to the Halevi military boss calls for a broader failure exam 7 October 2023.

Former Tancs commander Eyal Zamir laid the oath as a new military chief of Israeli due to the growing uncertainty due to the expiration of the interruption of fire in Gaza.

Earlier, the director of the Ministry of Defense, the 59-year-old replaces the head of the headquarters of General Herzi Halevi, who resigned in January admitting that he failed to fulfill his mandate.

At his oath ceremony on Wednesday at a military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Zamir said he was ready for the upcoming challenges, noting that “Hamas has really suffered a strong blow … not yet defeated. The mission has not yet been executed.”

Speaking to Zamir, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was “determined” to achieve a victory in his war.

Fighting in Gaza have been stopped since January in the first phase of multi -stage ceasefire that Qatar and Egypt broke out and supported by the United States, which enabled the exchange of 33 Israeli prisoners and 5 Thai prisoners for about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

But some Israeli ministers warned that their forces could continue the fight if there was no agreement on the return of 59 prisoners who were left.

The Israeli troops withdrew from some of their views in Gaza, but conversations that were intended for the arrangement of the second phase of the ceasefire that would see the release of the remaining living prisoners and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces before the war ended.

Israel called for the extension of the first phase by April to allow the release of the remaining prisoners, while Hamas insisted on compliance with the agreement concluded in January, which requires conversations on the constant end of the war, before agreeing to any editions.

Tests

Zamir’s oath comes because a series of official investigations began to question Israeli failures that failed to prevent the Hamas on South Israel on October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in the attack, and about 250 others were taken away in one of the greatest military and safety calipers.

Halevi led the army during the Israeli attack on Gaza, which killed more than 48,000 Palestinians and destroyed most of the territory, leaving the majority of the population in tents or bombed buildings.

But he announced in January, shortly after an agreement was agreed on the termination of fire, that he would deviate from his command, accepting the responsibility for the Army’s response to the attack on October 7th.

On Wednesday, as he handed over his command, he called for a broader overview of failure on October 7, 2023.

“Establishing a state investigation commission needs to be necessary – not to blame, but above all, in order to understand the root of the problem and allow correction,” he said.

Both Israeli army and the Bet Bet Security Agency admitted that their failures allowed the attack to happen, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far resisted a more general investigation that will observe the responsibility of his government.

The new commander will also have to respond to the accusations of international bodies, including the United Nations, that Israeli troops have committed war crimes during the Gaza campaign.

Israel rejects these accusations, but accused some individual reserve soldiers of serious abuse of detainees.

Israel says that Hamas, who accused the United Nations bodies of war crimes, committed multiple crimes during October 7th and had a hard time abusing Israeli prisoners in Gaza. Hamas denies charges.
