Centrist politician Benny Gantz resigned from Israel’s war cabinet, leaving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu more reliant on far-right allies, Al Jazeera reports.
“I’m proud of joining the emergency cabinet after the tragedy on October 7 befell us. But after eight months of combat we have to look forward,” Gantz told reporters. “Netanyahu knows what he must do and he must do it.”
Gantz also called on Defence Minister Yoav Gallant to “be brave and do what is right”.
“We are leaving the unity government with a heavy heart,” he said.
