New details reveal clashes that stopped beeper op. against Hezbollah days after Oct. 7 – exclusive
An exclusive 'Post' review looks at senior military analyst Yonah Jeremy Bob and WSJ's Elliot Kaufman's account of the decisions, clashes, and secret deliberations that shaped Israel's war.
New details from the book "In The War Room: The Inside Story of Israel's Fight Against Hamas and the Iranian Axis" by Yonah Jeremy Bob and Elliot Kaufman reveal internal clashes within Israel's war cabinet shortly after October 7, 2023. Then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant advocated for an immediate, devastating strike against Hezbollah, believing them to be the greater existential threat. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reportedly "dead set against his proposal."
"Gallant still believed, as he did before the war, that Hezbollah, not Hamas, posed the larger, perhaps existential threat to Israel."
The book details the contentious dynamics between Netanyahu, Gallant, and Benny Gantz, highlighting how their differing views and shifting allegiances influenced critical decisions in the multi-front war against Hamas and the Iranian axis.
