Barak accused Netanyahu of mishandling Israel\u2019s national security, damaging its international image, and undermining the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1083\" data-end=\"1459\">During an interview on Israeli public radio, Barak again pointed the finger at Netanyahu, accusing him of \u201cmixing up the cards\u201d and attempting to avoid an official inquiry that should take place once the war ends. He warned that Israel is on the edge of disaster, with its democracy and international standing at risk, and that Netanyahu is responsible for the ongoing crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1899\">Barak criticized Netanyahu for attempting to project an image that he and former U.S. President Donald Trump were in complete coordination, while in reality, Trump has long abandoned his plan for a Gaza &#8220;Riviera&#8221; and is now focusing on other issues. Barak further endorsed the call for civil disobedience by former Shin Bet head Ami Ayalon, who urged Israelis to protest the ongoing war and the failure of the government&#8217;s handling of it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16454\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16454 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/894.jpg\" alt=\"Over seven Israeli soldiers were injured in a major security incident in Gaza involving artillery and the 36th Division.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/894.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/894-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/894-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli soldiers carry their comrade on a stretcher after he was wounded in the Gaza Strip.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-26\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[70rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(12)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"a6bd82dc-7299-4554-afa6-af73f723e357\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o-mini\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<h3 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"103\">Israel Faces Growing Military Losses and Internal Discontent Amid Ongoing Gaza War<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1901\" data-end=\"2344\">As casualties mount within Israel&#8217;s military \u2014 with the deaths of four soldiers in one week \u2014 many analysts in Israel have warned that this is only the beginning and that Israel is becoming increasingly mired in the Gaza conflict. Some experts, like Amos Har\u2019el from Haaretz, argue that Israel now realizes that continuing military pressure requires significant resources and time, and the return of kidnapped Israelis is no longer guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2346\" data-end=\"2848\">As the war drags on, Israel faces growing internal discontent, with calls for an end to the fighting and a return to diplomacy.
