Likud responds to Nitzan Alon criticism over war strategy

The Likud party issued a response to Nitzan Alon, accusing him of wanting to surrender to Hamas' conditions, withdraw from Gaza, and stop the war while leaking from secret discussions and harming negotiations. The party stated it was beneficial that Prime Minister Netanyahu did not follow his advice, claiming this enabled the capture of Rafah, control of the Philadelphi Corridor, elimination of Nasrallah, Haniyeh, and Deif, the "Beepers" operation, establishment of security zones, control over most of Gaza, and the return of all hostages.
