Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has questioned the feasibility of Israel’s current military strategy, warning that some of its key objectives may not be achievable through force alone.

Speaking to Channel 13, Barak said there is no realistic military pathway to remove or neutralise Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, challenging the idea that military action can decisively halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

He also expressed concern over the narrative being presented to the public, stating that Israelis are being given a misleading picture of progress. Highlighting the ongoing conflict, Barak noted that Hamas remains operational despite years of military efforts aimed at its elimination.

Barak extended similar concerns to the broader regional landscape, saying that neither Hezbollah nor Iran has been decisively weakened, raising doubts about claims of strategic success.

His remarks underscore increasing debate within Israel over the effectiveness and direction of its military campaigns, as well as the gap between stated goals and outcomes on the ground.
