The new message is being circulated for signatures from former and reserve officers across all Israeli army units. According to Haaretz, the organizers have already collected over 1,200 signatures.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1244\">The letter reads:\u201cWe, former and reserve officers in the Israeli army, demand that the government and the Chief of Staff end the political war in Gaza and immediately secure the release of all hostages. At this stage, the war no longer contributes to Israel\u2019s security\u2014therefore, it is immoral.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6948\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6948\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6948 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-Israeli-magazine-acknowledges-the-looting-of-Israeli-occupation-soldiers-of-everything-under-their-control-in-Gaza-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"the looting of Israeli occupation soldiers of everything under their control in Gaza\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-Israeli-magazine-acknowledges-the-looting-of-Israeli-occupation-soldiers-of-everything-under-their-control-in-Gaza-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-Israeli-magazine-acknowledges-the-looting-of-Israeli-occupation-soldiers-of-everything-under-their-control-in-Gaza-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-Israeli-magazine-acknowledges-the-looting-of-Israeli-occupation-soldiers-of-everything-under-their-control-in-Gaza-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-Israeli-magazine-acknowledges-the-looting-of-Israeli-occupation-soldiers-of-everything-under-their-control-in-Gaza-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-Israeli-magazine-acknowledges-the-looting-of-Israeli-occupation-soldiers-of-everything-under-their-control-in-Gaza-450x301.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/An-Israeli-magazine-acknowledges-the-looting-of-Israeli-occupation-soldiers-of-everything-under-their-control-in-Gaza.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6948\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An Israeli magazine acknowledges the looting of Israeli occupation soldiers of everything under their control in Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"23\" data-end=\"103\">Israeli Officers: Gaza War Now Serves Political Agendas, Not National Security<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1244\">Continuing this war goes against the will of the vast majority of the public, will lead to the death of hostages, Israeli soldiers, and innocent civilians, and may also result in war crimes. This war seeks to legitimize the occupation of Gaza and serves the vision of a narrow minority in Israeli society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"1860\">It continues:\u201cWe are fully confident that the Chief of Staff will reject any order marked by a \u2018black flag\u2019\u2014the kind of order that could burden soldiers with moral and legal consequences for life. Our collective existence as a society and a state relies on faith in justice, mutual solidarity, Jewish ethical values, and a deep respect for human life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2208\" data-end=\"2549\">A previous petition\u2014signed by around 1,000 air force members, including active reservists\u2014prompted dismissals by the army chief and Air Force commander Tomer Bar. In response, 1,500 alumni from special forces and infantry units issued a statement supporting the demand to free the hostages even at the cost of ending the war.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2551\" data-end=\"2816\">Last month\u2019s signatories stated that the war now primarily serves political and personal agendas, not national security.
