Suspected Israeli reservist threatens mutiny over Gaza war plans

A suspected Israeli reservist has threatened mutiny if the war on Gaza ends before "complete victory", saying he wants to annihilate Palestinians in the besieged enclave. 

The masked soldier, who has not been identified, said in a video posted on Friday he will not obey orders by Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. 

He said he and "100,000 reservists" reject plans to hand Gaza back to Palestinians, including the Palestinian Authority, Hamas or another "Arab entity". 

"Yoav Gallant, you can't win the war. Resign. You can't win this war. You can't command us," the suspected reservist said in the video.

"I am telling you, Mr Yoav Gallant, if we do not continue until victory, 100,000 reservists will remain on the fence and we will call residents of the State of Israel to come to Gaza under our protection," he added, referring to the boundary fence between Israel and Gaza.
