Benny Gantz, a popular centrist member of Israel’s three-member war cabinet, threatened to resign from the government if it doesn’t adopt a new plan for the war in Gaza.
Benny Gantz, a popular centrist member of Israel’s three-member war cabinet, threatened to resign from the government if it doesn’t adopt a new plan in three weeks’ time for the war in Gaza, a decision that would leave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu more reliant on far-right allies.
He gave a June 8 deadline. “If you choose the path of fanatics and lead the entire nation to the abyss – we will be forced to quit the government,” he said. Gantz spoke days after Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, the third member of the war cabinet, said he would not remain in his post if Israel elected to reoccupy Gaza, and called on the government to make plans for a Palestinian administration.
US national security adviser Jake Sullivan will be in Saudi Arabia and Israel this weekend to discuss the war and is scheduled to meet with Netanyahu on Sunday, who has declared that Israel would “stand alone” if needed. “This government is taking the country to places that I don’t want to see my country go,” said one protester, Noam Fagi.
