In a recent development, the Israel Defense Minister has told U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan that the military struggle in Gaza will last more than a few months. This update comes as Sullivan conducts a series of meetings in Israel with the country's war cabinet. The objective is to implement a new strategy to mitigate what President Biden believes has devolved into uncontrolled bombing in Gaza.
Simultaneously, new intelligence data has surfaced showing that nearly 50% of the munitions Israel has utilized in the Gaza conflict are unguided, or 'dumb' bombs. This information could significantly shift the public's perception of Israel’s proclaimed commitments to minimize civilian losses during their operations in Gaza. Despite U.S. confidence in Israel's intent to protect civilians, experts hold firm on their position that the utilization of these unguided munitions undermines this claim.
