Israeli writer: Everyone wants a deal except Netanyahu. Raviv Drucker wrote that Israel is "scraping its feet" about two months after the start of the ground war in the Gaza Strip.

The writer attributes the reason to the original plan put forward by the army and approved by the War Council, which calls for a three-stage operation lasting for a year. He wrote that War Council Minister Benny Gantz and Chief of Staff Gadi Einzenkot know that they made a mistake by approving the plan.
