Israeli national security minister reiterates government ‘dismantled’ if truce agreed

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says if a ceasefire deal is approved it will lead to the dissolution of the Benjamin Netanyahu-led government.

On X, Ben-Gvir wrote a “reminder” to a previous post he made in January, saying, “Reckless deal = dismantling of the government.”

His comments come after hardline Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich warned Netanyahu’s government will have “no right of existence” unless Israel invades Rafah where Hamas battalions are allegedly based.
