Gantz warned to resignation from the war cabinet

TEHRAN (defapress) - According to Israel’s public broadcaster KAN, Gantz plans to submit his resignation due to the failure to create the specified plan.

Israeli media sources reported that Gantz instructed his office to organize a press conference on Saturday evening.

Gantz announced that he will give a public statement on Saturday after his ultimatum in May to commit to an agreed-upon vision for the Gaza conflict by June 8 has gone unrealized.

Gadi Eisenkot, Gantz's political ally, will also leave the coalition. Both men are former IDF chiefs of staff and made up two-fifths of the emergency war cabinet.

Netanyahu was furious and issued a scathing response, accusing Gantz of “seeking an end to the war and defeat for Israel, abandoning the majority of the hostages, leaving Hamas in power, and creating a Palestinian state.”

Reports indicate that Benjamin Netanyahu may propose to Gideon Sa’ar that he replace Gantz in the war cabinet. If Sa’ar declines, Netanyahu is considering disbanding the current cabinet altogether.
