MK Oded Forer (Yisrael Beiteinu) said Thursday in an interview on Channel 14 that while the IDF has achieved tactical military victories in the campaign against Lebanon, it has not achieved a strategic decision that would end the threat.
The remark adds to a growing public debate over the war's objectives in the north. Earlier this week, Forer accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of prioritizing coalition deals over soldier safety in Lebanon. The IDF continues to operate on multiple axes in southern Lebanon, with analysts assessing the military retains freedom of action but has not withdrawn from captured areas.
In a separate comment, Forer ruled out Yisrael Beiteinu joining any government coalition that would advance Palestinian statehood, clarifying his party's conditions for potential coalition participation amid ongoing political maneuvering.
