Benjamin Netanyahu has suffered a major setback after the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Benny Gantz, a member of the Israeli war cabinet, has resigned from his post. He cites several reasons, including a lack of planning after the Gaza war. The government is not threatened by Benny Gantz's resignation, but it has since become more dependent on coalition leaders. Benjamin prevented us from moving towards a real victory in Gaza, so today with a heavy heart we are resigning from the emergency government.
Netanyahu gave an ultimatum
Before this move, Benny Gantz had given an ultimatum to Netanyahu last month, asking him to come up with a new plan for the Gaza war by June 8. It is being said that Benny Gantz was about to resign on Saturday, but he postponed it after the news of the release of 4 hostages in an operation by Israeli forces. 270 people have died in this operation. According to the report, 'The Israeli army has bombed people's homes. One person said that innocent people have been killed in this operation, I have never seen anything like this before. This is a kind of disaster.
Netanyahu urged not to resign
According to the report, Netanyahu also made several attempts to stop Gantz. On Saturday, Netanyahu appealed to remain in the government. Netanyahu said that in view of the current crisis before us, it is important to remain united within the government. Netanyahu said, 'I appeal to Benny Gantz not to leave the emergency government, but to maintain unity.' In fact, the war cabinet was formed within 4 days of Hamas' attack on October 7. Gantz's resignation will end the representation of any party other than Netanyahu in the war cabinet.
Demand for appointment of new member in cabinet
Apart from Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galant will now be the only member of this cabinet to take decisions. He is a member of Netanyahu's party Likud. After the resignation of Benny Gantz, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gavir has immediately asked for a seat in the war cabinet. He said that now the time has come to take bold decisions. Some opposition leaders have justified the resignation.
