Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has announced his resignation from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. The move comes amidst escalating tensions and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Gantz, a former general and defense minister, cited the lack of approval for a post-war plan for Gaza as the reason for his resignation. He had demanded this plan in May but failed to get it approved by Netanyahu.
The resignation is seen as a significant political blow to Netanyahu, although it is not expected to bring down the government. Gantz’s departure may force Netanyahu to rely more heavily on his right-wing partners within the coalition.
In response to Gantz’s resignation, Netanyahu urged him to reconsider, emphasizing the need to stay united during this critical time.
The conflict in Gaza has been ongoing, with recent events including Israeli forces rescuing hostages from Gaza and calls for a ceasefire and negotiations for a long-term solution.
