IDF fighters issued an ultimatum to Netanyahu.

Transport Minister Miri Regev announced her intention to arrest 130 military personnel who signed the ultimatum to Netanyahu. In the letter, they offered to refuse service if there was no deal with Hamas. The military believes the war in Gaza threatens the lives of the hostages and complicates their return.

The minister noted that there is no place in the army for refusing to serve, and any conscientious objector should be in prison. The military, who risked their lives, are ready to stop serving, demanding a change in government strategy. Regev spoke about possible prison sentences for refuseniks, emphasizing the importance of following orders.

The Chief of the General Staff must ensure that the army is not drawn into political conflicts. Soldiers returning from Lebanon and Gaza spoke of clashes with Hezbollah and Raduan. IDF soldiers, according to Cursor, have higher combat experience after operations in Gaza.
