Power struggle in Israel’s war cabinet
The refusal of Israeli war cabinet members Yoav Galant and Benny Gantz to participate in a press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu caused the Hebrew media to focus on the power struggle and differences between Israel's political leaders instead of analyzing the Gaza war. |
Fars News Agency International Group; Kan network political analyst “Michel Shimesh” says about the root of the differences among Tel Aviv officials, “in this critical week, a lot of tension has been created between the members of the war cabinet and the main topic of differences and conflicts is the days after the Gaza war”.
The Israeli analyst states that “Netanyahu’s relations with his defense minister have not been good since the beginning of the war until now”, and Gallant and Gantz rejected the prime minister’s invitation to participate in the joint press conference so that everyone , their empty seats show a big difference.
Shimesh refers to the opposition of some hard-line cabinet ministers to the end of the war In Gaza, he emphasized that “Netanyahu will finally be forced to choose between Benny Gantz’s strategy and Bezalel Smutrich’s thinking.” With Gantz from the opposition parties joining the cabinet to manage the war, some of Netanyahu’s ministers, such as Smotrich and Itmar Benguvir, had threatened to leave the government coalition if the attacks on Gaza stopped.
