Israel’s war cabinet member Benny Gantz has said he will hold a press conference on Saturday, with Israeli media reporting he is likely to announce his departure from the government, AFP reports.
Gantz said last month he would resign from the war cabinet if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not approve a post-conflict plan for the Gaza Strip by June 8.
His centrist National Union Party submitted a bill last week to dissolve the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and hold an early election.
Gantz said this week that returning hostages from Gaza was a “priority”.
