Benny Gantz Resigns from Netanyahu's War Cabinet
Former Defense Minister Cites Netanyahu's "Harmful Conduct"
Paragraph 1
On Sunday, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz announced his resignation from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet, citing Netanyahu's "harmful conduct" as a reason for his decision. Gantz made the announcement during a televised event, where he stated that he could no longer serve in a government where Netanyahu's personal interests superseded the well-being of the country.
Paragraph 2
Gantz's resignation comes after months of tension between him and Netanyahu. Gantz, who leads the centrist National Unity alliance, joined a unity government led by Netanyahu in March despite their significant political differences. However, Gantz has repeatedly criticized Netanyahu's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his alleged corruption.
Paragraph 3
Gantz's resignation has thrown the future of Netanyahu's government into uncertainty. Gantz and his allies have threatened to bring down the government if Netanyahu does not set an election date. Netanyahu has so far refused to do so, but he may be forced to reconsider in light of Gantz's resignation.
Paragraph 4
The resignation of Gantz from the war cabinet is a major blow to Netanyahu's authority and could lead to the collapse of his government. It remains to be seen how Netanyahu will respond to Gantz's resignation and whether he will be able to maintain his hold on power.
