Israeli media has highlighted in recent months deep-seated disputes between the government and the army regarding the government's management of the war and its post-war strategy in Gaza.
Last month, Israeli reports revealed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's orders to prepare for a ground invasion in the Gazan city of Rafah had caused significant disagreements between him and Israeli military officials.
Hagari has been known to promote lies on Al-Shifa Hospital alleged Hamas tunnel as well as many other allegations during the five-month deadly war on Gaza.
