"If the US opposes the operation of the IDF or the State of Israel in Rafah, Israel will not fight in Rafah" - this is what Major General Nimrod Shafer, former head of the planning division of the General Staff and chief of staff of the Air Force, estimated today (Sunday). It was right, it was essential and it could have been done in the first weeks of the war. In my opinion, this opportunity is no longer in our hands."
He said these things in an interview with 103FM.
"Maybe we will do very small and targeted operations, but we will not see anything similar to what happened in the last five months in the Gaza Strip, if the Americans tell us no."
Shafer sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli leadership in the conduct of the war, in the shadow of the international arena - and with an emphasis on the crisis facing the Biden administration regarding the possible activity in Rafah.
"To say, 'On your nose and your anger we will fight Rafih,' these are words that, in my eyes, are mainly intended to please his base and have no hold on reality," he claimed and added: "After the unusual, extraordinary, never-before-seen support of the United States In Israel, to say these words today, when we are really doing everything contrary to the American requests - it is a message that the word "defiant" is small in comparison, what's more, Netanyahu knows that it is not true, it is even a false message, no less than that.
I think that the IDF leaders know this very well. They know that the IDF will not fight when the Americans tell it no."
"He said that the word defiant is small compared to him."

Shafer emphasized the magnitude of the crisis - and assessed that in the current situation, the possibility of a significant war in the north is not on the table: "Half a year after the State of Israel received overwhelming support in the world, from the Americans, through the Europeans, through almost every country, we could do what we want, we became less than half A year for a leper country. Even her best friends tell her 'enough.' They don't sell her armaments, they don't sell her spare parts."
"If the Israeli government wanted to move forward in the north, it would have 4.5 months ago sat down a team and told it, 'Recommend to me now how and when to return the evacuated residents.' Frustrating as it sounds, it's hard to say that, but that's the fact. Over the years, we allowed Hezbollah in the north to spill over to the south, to bring in armed forces, the Radwan forces. It's not that there wasn't a good agreement after the Second Lebanon War, there was an agreement in order but we didn't implement it and that's how it will be Also in the future."

"A war with Hezbollah will not be a trivial event, it will be a war with very heavy costs that will also end in an agreement, that's how all wars end, in some kind of agreement. If we don't know how to guarantee that and stand for its implementation, then in five years, we will be in the same situation as we are Today. This patent called war is a very temporary thing if it is not backed up by an agreement. The right step is to try to forge an agreement without war."
