The Israeli Army Spokesperson’s Unit, led by Lt Col Daniel Hagari, has witnessed a large wave of resignations. 

The following report is by The Cradle:

Among those who resigned are Hagari’s second in command, Colonel Butbol, as well Colonel Moran Katz and the army’s International Spokesman Lieutenant Richard Hecht.

“A large number of officers recently announced their retirement from the unit responsible for the military’s information system,” Hebrew news outlet Channel 14 reported on 3 March. 

A number of female officers were also among those who resigned. 

The resignations came “after things did not work out ‘professionally and personally,’” Channel 14 correspondent Tamir Morg said. 

Several officers have reportedly complained about not moving up in the ranks, the Hebrew outlet explained. 

“The picture is complex, since it is a military system and sometimes people reach retirement age and leave for no particular reason, but despite this, the number of people who retire at once during a war is unusual,” the correspondent said. 

The Israeli military has not responded to requests for comment.

The resignations come as significant tension has overtaken Israel’s military establishment. 

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has been calling for an end to draft exemptions for Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community, citing a severe manpower crisis in the army. Gallant said he would only support legislation to settle the issue if certain members of the ruling coalition backed it.

The army is in need of manpower now. It’s not a matter of politics, it’s a matter of mathematics.

The defense minister said on Sunday.

Gallant’s position is causing tension with ultra-Orthodox parties in the coalition, viewed as integral to the current government’s survival, according to Hebrew media. 

Israel is taking severe losses from its genocidal war in Gaza and its attempt to eradicate the Palestinian resistance. 

While Israel claims that Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah is the final Hamas stronghold, the group’s military wing, along with several other factions, continue to fiercely confront Israeli troops across the strip.

“The situation is simply not good and does not match the threat map,” Ynet reported on 1 March. 


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Just several days ago I reported how Israel’s economy is not faring well with this war, and is poised to only drop even further the longer it continues to keep fighting it, not to mention the lasting repercussions this will have on other nations going forward, and their willingness to trade with them.

Again, absent from the media, but The WP was one of the minute few that had periodically reported Israel was nearing a full-blown civil war, with at least half the country against Netanyahu and his policies, with Israelis taking to the streets demanding change and Netanyahu locked-up. This war derailed all of that. Now Netanyahu’s approval is really in the gutter.

Based on what I can gather, with Israel failing to root out Hamas (which continues to prove more and more by the day that was never their intention since October 7th, as it was another “Bush’s weapon’s of mass destruction – “you’re either with us or you are with the terrorists” propaganda lies), and with Israel looking to ramp-up war with other countries, it would seem an increasing number of soldiers and officials are looking to get out now.

Of course, this makes us wonder if this will increase the prospect that the U.S. and NATO forces will deploy additional troops to the region to help Israel in their battles. Time shall tell.

[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 24:6-8

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
