==2023 Israel-Hamas war==
On 27 December 2023, during the third month of the [[2023 Israel-Hamas war]], retired General Halutz made the following comments:

<blockquote>We lost the war, because it will not have the image of victory! Because the image will be the loss of 1,300 dead, 240 abducted, only a portion of whom have returned, and the destruction and displacement of 200,000 [Israeli] refugees in their country. The image of victory for me would be the removal of the prime minister [Netanyahu]. Only that will be an image of victory, unadulterated.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/videos/world-news/israel-lost-war-stunning-claims-of-defeat-against-hamas-by-ex-idf-chief-details-101703605479449.html | title='Israel Lost War...': Stunning Claims of Defeat Against Hamas by Ex-IDF Chief &#124; Details | date=December 26, 2023 }}</ref></blockquote>
