Note there isn’t a single mention of human rights abuses or Israeli conduct towards Palestinians.

To be expected, I suppose.

Halevi had also appeared to be at odds with Israel’s new defense minister, Israel Katz, over the direction of the war, with Halevi saying Israel had accomplished most of its goals and Katz echoing Netanyahu’s vow to keep fighting until “total victory” over Hamas.

So the new guy is even more of a blowhard.

The truce has already seen Hamas return to the streets, showing that it remains in firm control of the territory despite 15 months of war that killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and caused widespread devastation.

LOL, yeah, that’s right!
