Former minister Yoaz Hendel stated at a press conference Tuesday evening that the government must ensure 100% recruitment and a decisive outcome on the battlefield, rather than merely discussing 'total victory.' The remarks, reported by Yediot Ahronot, add to a growing chorus of criticism from former security officials regarding the government's wartime messaging. The Zioneer has previously reported similar sentiments from former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, who described a 'deep chasm' between promises and reality.
