Ofer Winter Denies Claim He Warned Netanyahu on Gaza Ground Operation Casualties
Retired Brigadier General Ofer Winter, chairman of the "Am Yisrael" movement, has vehemently denied a Channel 12 news report alleging he warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a ground maneuver in the Gaza Strip would cost the lives of 15,000 soldiers. Winter described the publication as a "complete lie" and "old politics."
Winter revealed the operational plan he proposed on October 9th, which included a complete siege and population evacuation. He stated that this plan could have led to a quicker decision and saved lives.
The report from Channel 12 claimed that Winter had presented this warning to Netanyahu during a meeting. Winter's strong rebuttal suggests a significant disagreement over the details of past discussions and strategic advice.
