Israeli War Cabinet member issues ultimatum on Gaza, threatens to resign

Israel-Hamas War Latest Update: Israel and Palestine are two nations who have been at war since October 7, 2023 and despite the loss of property and thousands of people, the countries are not ready to let go of their differences and call it a truce. Amid the ongoing war and daily attacks, there have also been differences within the country and in a latest development, dissatisfied by the strategy and planning, a member of the Israeli War Cabinet, Benny Gantz has threatened to resign if the Benjamin Netanyahu-led government does not adopt a new plan for Gaza War within the next three weeks.

As mentioned earlier, escalating tensions among Israeli leaders over the ongoing war in Gaza, Israeli War Cabinet member Benny Gantz has threatened to resign from the government if it doesn’t adopt a new plan for the war in Gaza within three weeks, CNN reported on Saturday. This move would leave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu more reliant on his far-right allies. Former Israeli defense minister Gantz is demanding that the cabinet lays out a plan for the war against Hamas by June 8.

In remarks in the city of Ramat Gan on Saturday night local time, Gantz warned that if his demands are not met, he will withdraw from the government. He said the plan should eliminate Hamas, bring back the hostages, establish an alternative government in the strip, bring back Israeli residents to the north of Israel, and set up a plan to make progress on normalization with Saudi Arabia, CNN reported.
