Israel's agreement with Hamas has been sharply criticized by the public and media in the country. In particular, right-wing political circles and media outlets are calling the ceasefire agreement a major defeat for the government.

The Israeli government initially stated that its main goal was to completely destroy Hamas and free Israeli hostages. However, the 15-month military campaign has not achieved these goals.

According to the conclusion of Israel's Channel 24, Hamas has consolidated its position in the Gaza Strip, and the war goals have not been achieved. The situation in Gaza has remained unchanged.
The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, meanwhile, blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the political defeat and criticized the army and the Chief of General Staff for failing to implement the military plan.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also stated that Hamas cannot be defeated militarily.
