Peloni: It is bad enough that the US and UN believe that they should have a greater input into Israel’s governing than the duly elected Israel govt, but for the leadership of the IDF to act upon these beliefs portrays an altogether greater problem for Israel. As the Israeli govt is already encumbered by a Supreme Court which takes its directives from whims of fancy which are based on non-national interests, the move for the leadership of the IDF to embark on a similar outrage in a midst of a war stretches credulity beyond the breaking point. This outrage should be recognized as being ever greater by the fact that the US and UN are allied against the war aims set by the Israeli govt. The concerns extending from this report would notably include the many questions which have arisen as to the motivations surrounding the actions by the leadership of the IDF in connection to the massive policy failures which led to the October 7 slaughter, details about which we are still not permitted to know more than the investigative reports which are independently obtained in the press.
Political source says PM Netanyahu was surprised by IDF announcement of 11-hour ‘tactical pauses’ every day near Kerem Shalom Crossing.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant were not informed in advance of the IDF’s decision to announce daily ‘tactical pauses’ near the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
A political official said after the IDF’s announcement: “When the Prime Minister heard the reports in the morning about a humanitarian pause for 11 hours a day, he contacted his military secretary and made it clear that this was unacceptable to him. Following an inquiry, the Prime Minister was informed that there is no change in IDF policy and that the fighting in Rafah is continuing as planned.”
This morning, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit announced that as part of ongoing efforts by the IDF and COGAT to increase the volumes of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and following additional related discussions with the UN and international organizations, starting yesterday (Saturday), a local, tactical pause of military activity for humanitarian purposes will take place from 8:00 am until 7:00 pm every day until further notice along the road that leads from the Kerem Shalom Crossing to the Salah al-Din Road and then northwards.
This is an additional step in the humanitarian aid efforts that have been conducted by the IDF and COGAT since the beginning of the war.
“The IDF will continue to support humanitarian efforts on the ground,” the spokesperson stated.
a long day to just roll in the so-called “humanitarian aid”. to whom is this “aid’ going? If the PM doesn’t approve, why isn’t he stopping it? Everyone knows anything coming into Gaza is grabbed first by Hamas goons and little reaches the general public except as stolen merchandise. Did any army in history give aid and comfort to the enemy IN TIME OF WAR? NO! no more aid until Israel’s kidnapped and murdered people held hostage by Hamas are returned (without further murders) . Maybe then there can be a pause (but I doubt It). IDF to continue ridding the world of Hamas armed fighters any in or aroung Israel’s sovereign country.
The IDF is betrayed by small men with big egos at the top.
Victory Now!
But we all know that the “humanitarian aid” is being hijacked by Hamas, so why are the IDF doing this? If indeed they are? And what army feeds the enemy in the midst of war? Thank goodness the Allies didn’t follow this ridiculous policy in WWII.
“Quand tout le monde vous ment en permanence, le résultat n’est pas que vous croyez ces mensonges mais que plus personne ne croit plus rien (…). Un peuple qui ne peut plus rien croire ne peut se faire une opinion. Il est privé non seulement de sa capacité d’agir mais aussi de sa capacité de penser et de juger. Et avec un tel peuple, vous pouvez faire ce que vous voulez”. H. Arendt!
Isn’t the PM at the top of the chain of command? How can the IDF make this decision without his ok? Anyway, I hope that last sentence is true and there’s been no change in IDF policy.
I don’t like this. Fuck the “palestinians” and their aid.
It stinks from which “heads”?
Caroline Glick has podcast an extremely brilliant and fact-packed exposition of this outrageous development, andall of the shocking and depressing facts connected with it. She says this failure to inform the political echelon” is part of the larger syndrome in which a treasonous “clique” headed by the High Court has seized absooute power and has left elected officials, the “popitical echelon,” powerless. According to Caroline, the “High Court” even controls the army, as well as “retired” but still powerful justices.
