The Israeli military made a statement on June 19th that 'Hamas is an ideology that we cannot eliminate', diverging from the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's firm stance of 'ending the war by destroying Hamas'. Despite the military's efforts, with over 37,000 Palestinians killed in the 8-month offensive on the Gaza Strip, Hamas continues to strike Israeli forces. The military spokesperson mentioned the need to create an alternative approach to weaken Hamas, while emphasizing that the notion of 'destroying Hamas' is unrealistic. This conflicting stance with the government's long-standing pledge to eradicate Hamas showcases internal discord within Israeli leadership.
