Benny Gantz, the head of Israel’s prime minister, announced on Sunday that he would be leaving the war cupboard after a post plan for the Arab enclave failed to materialize.
The Palestinian civil death toll in the Gaza war has piled domestic and international force on Netanyahu, and Gantz ‘ departure comes amid the international condemnation of the situation.
In a televised speech on Sunday, Gantz resigned, claiming that Netanyahu had” stood in the way of a genuine success” for Israel.
” We are leaving the emergency authorities now with a big heart, but with a full soul,” Gantz said.
Netanyahu addressed Gantz in an X article following his departure, saying,” this is not the time to leave the battle — this is the time to visit troops”.
We will continue until success and the achievement of all of the war’s objectives, notably the release of all of our captives and the eradication of Hamas, Netanyahu remarked.
Gantz stated during his departure address that elections this fall” may be held that will ultimately build a government that will earn the trust of the people and be able to encounter challenges.”
” I call on Netanyahu: laid an agreed election day. Do n’t let our people be torn apart”, Gantz said.
Gantz threatened to cut his National Unity party out of the partnership on June 8 unless the prime minister had a program for the enclave’s post management. In May, Gantz demanded that Netanyahu accept a day-after plan for the war in Gaza.
After veering away from President Joe Biden’s cease-fire agreement, which was presented next month as an Israeli plan, Netanyahu missed the deadline.
On Saturday, Netanyahu called on Gantz to stay in the alliance, saying in a blog on X,” This is the time for cohesion and not for section”.
In recent days, dozens of people were killed in Rafah, a place where displaced civilians were huddled in tents, in response to the country’s widespread criticism of the human death toll from the Gaza battle. On Saturday, an Israeli attackon key Gaza that rescued four victims also killed over 270 Palestinians, bringing Gaza’s death toll to more than 37, 000 since the start of the war next October, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
A U. N. top prosecutor has already , ordered Israel to halt , its offensive in Rafah, and the latest round of human deaths, including two strikes on U. N. run schools in the Nuseirat and Shati refugee camps, will simply strengthen conflicts between it and Israel.
Israel and Hamas are both included on a global list of states and military organizations that inflict harm on children during conflicts. Next month, the U. N. said at least 7, 797 children had been killed in Gaza. Netanyahu criticized the decision, claiming that the United Nations had “added itself to the black record of past when it joined those who support the Hamas , assassins” and reiterated his say that the Israeli army was the “most social army in the world.”
The International Criminal Court’s chief counsel stated in May that he was looking for arrest warrants for Hamas leaders as well as Benjamin Netanyahu.
Gantz expressed regret to the hostages ‘ families in an apology speech on Sunday, saying” we failed” to bring most of them home.
” The role is even mine”, Gantz said. I demand from the prime minister the courage to stand up for the design we received in the War Cabinet, the rules of which were presented by President Biden, and make it clear that I will do everything to support it.
If Gantz retires, Netanyahu’s government did remain sorely dependent on the support of the far-right users of his government, which leaves hopes for Biden’s plan hanging by a thread.
Bezalel Smotrich, the head of the far-right Religious Zionist Party, said on X  las year that he would” certainly be part of a state that accepts the proposed design and ends the war without destroying Hamas.”
Itamar Ben- Gvir, regional security minister and leader of the far- proper Jewish Power Party, called the proposal” a victory for terrorism” that may mean “absolute defeat”, and threatened , on X ,” to dissolve the government” if He agree to the proposal.
