Haaretz June 5, 2025 Mossad’s Former Chief Calls the War in Gaza ‘Useless’ it is not leading to anything Tamir Pardo, argues that Israel’s military campaign has been flawed from the start, critiquing current conflict strategies and calling for a reassessment of efforts.
The war in Gaza "is useless" and "it's accomplishing nothing," former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo says, adding that "from Israel's point of view, it's a waste of time.
When a former Mossad chief like Tamir Pardo calls the war in Gaza “useless,” it's not just criticism — it’s a sober acknowledgment of a reality Netanyahu's suppirters refused to face.
