Report: Maritime deal caused ‘great dissatisfaction’ in Israel. (The Cradle)

In an opinion piece published on the Israeli news website Maariv, journalist Yossi Bloom Halevi goes into detail about widespread dissatisfaction among the Israeli public over the maritime border agreement with Lebanon.

➡️ Read the thread

⋯ Yossi alleges that the decision to reach a border agreement with Lebanon was taken under “immense pressure” from the European Union, while Israel was under credible threat from Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah.

⋯ This led to a “clouded judgment” that drove Israel into accepting a comprise contrary to its security, economic, constitutional, and national interests, the author claims.

⋯ In a study conducted by the army in the wake of the first Lebanon war, they concluded that its troops are suffering from shock from the resistance’s anti-tank weapons

The army focused on a mechanized doctrine that involved heavy reliance on armor to advance against the enemy

⋯ However, the army failed to learn and then change its doctrine in time, leading to a similar defeat in the second Lebanon war in the battle of Wadi al-Saluki, writes Halevi.

The consequences of the war created trauma for the regular and reserve soldiers, greatly influencing the leadership’s decisions when war was at stake with Lebanon.

⋯ Halevi concludes that the Israeli army should recruit soldiers to adapt to the challenges posed by Gaza and Lebanon, ending the era of raising the white flag and cowering from committing ground forces to achieve long-lasting results.

For its part, Hezbollah was confident about the Israeli army’s inability to mount an offensive against Lebanon or leverage its immense firepower in a possible war.
