Israeli politician Benny Gantz, a prominent member of the country's war cabinet, resigned from the government on Sunday due to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the Gaza conflict. Gantz, a centrist figure, had previously threatened to resign unless Netanyahu addressed his concerns about the war's conclusion and its aftermath. He stated that his party was leaving the emergency government due to Netanyahu's leadership preventing them from achieving real victory. While Gantz's departure is not expected to force Netanyahu from office, it has revealed divisions within the Israeli leadership and comes amid mounting frustration over the failure to decisively defeat Hamas and bring home hostages held in Gaza. Gantz had set a deadline for Netanyahu to address his demands, including a plan to return hostages, and postponed a news conference after the rescue of four hostages was announced. This move has disrupted the appearance of unity that Netanyahu had initially presented at the start of the conflict and has led to international criticism as civilian casualties and destruction in Gaza have increased.
