Israeli War Cabinet Minister Gantz resigns from Netanyahu’s government

JERUSALEM:Israeli War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz and War Cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot resigned Sunday from the emergency unity government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Addressing a press conference in Tel Aviv, Gantz called on Netanyahu to hold early elections “as soon as possible.”

"Months after the October tragedy, the situation in the country and in the room of the decision-makers has changed. Netanyahu and his partners have turned unity into a moving call without real-world action. Fateful strategic decisions are met with hesitancy and procrastination due to political considerations," Gantz said.

“Unfortunately, Netanyahu prevents us from reaching true victory. Therefore, today, we are leaving the emergency government with a heavy heart, but with a full heart.”
