Israeli PM Netanyahu sacks Defense Minister Gallant over crisis of trust on Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, citing a "crisis of trust" and "significant gaps" in their relationship. The move has sparked protests across the country, with thousands of Israelis rallying in Tel Aviv to call for a hostage deal and criticizing Netanyahu for failing to prevent the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Gallant will be replaced by Israel Katz, a fellow Likud party member and current foreign minister.
