Gantz Resigns from Government, Calls for Elections

ai generated text

Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has resigned from Benjamin Netanyahu's emergency government, citing deepening divisions over post-conflict plans for Gaza. Gantz, who joined the government eight months ago following the Hamas attack on October 7, had repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu over his approach to the conflict. In a statement, Gantz accused Netanyahu of preventing true victory and urged him to call an election in the autumn.

    Israel Foreign Ministry
    1. We will continue to act with determination and strength, in accordance with our right to self-defence, until all of the hostages are freed and Hamas is defeated.
  2. IL
    Benny Gantz
    Israel Resilience Party
    1. Our influence is very limited, if it even exists anymore.
    2. Strategic and crucial decisions are taken by the government out of political considerations.
    3. The protests are important, however, they need to be conducted in a legal manner and they must not encourage hatred. We are not each other's enemies. Our enemies are outside of our borders.
    4. Netanyahu is preventing us from advancing toward true victory. That is why we are leaving the emergency government today, with a heavy heart but with full confidence.
    5. Israeli society needs to renew its contract with its leadership.
    6. I will be part of a national unity government that includes all centrist parties and only that option will allow us to face all the challenges that stand before us, even with Netanyahu. Like I said, what we need is true and genuine unity and not partial unity.
  3. IL
    Bezalel Smotrich
    Religious Zionist Party
    1. I call on all the leaders of the Zionist parties for whom the State of Israel is important to join the unity government until victory.
    2. There is no act less stately than withdrawing from the government during a war.
    3. This is exactly what [Yahya] Sinwar, [Hasan] Nasrallah and Iran were aiming for, and unfortunately you are fulfilling their request.

    Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades
    1. The operation will pose a great danger (for) the enemy's prisoners and will have a negative impact on their conditions.
  5. IL
    Alon Pinkas
    Middle East Council on Global Affairs
    1. In his mind, he was the responsible adult in a government filled with inept and messianic misfits.
