Benny Gantz, a member of Israel’s war cabinet, will likely announce his withdrawal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government within a few days, Al Jazeera reports, citing Israel’s Channel 12.

Earlier this month, Benny Gantz threatened to quit Israel’s coalition government if Netanyahu didn’t come up with a plan for Gaza’s post-conflict governance within weeks.

The channel also published a report based on a television survey showing Netanyahu had overtaken Gantz as the public’s preferred choice for the PM role. This was the first time in a year that the current PM had been rated higher than Gantz.
