Israeli government split, war cabinet minister threatens Netanyahu, demands plan

Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has threatened to resign unless Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sets out a post-war plan for the Gaza Strip.

Gantz set a June 8 deadline to achieve six "strategic goals," including the end of Hamas rule in Gaza and the creation of a multinational civilian administration for the territory.

"If you put the nation above yourself, you will find partners in the war in us. But if you choose the path of fanatics and lead the whole nation to the abyss, we will be forced to leave the government," he said.

Netanyahu rejected the comments, as according to him such a thing would mean "loss for Israel".

The growing rift in the government comes as fighting rages on both ends of the Gaza Strip, with Israeli forces operating in the southern town of Rafah and the northern town of Jabalia, one of Gaza's historic refugee camps and an area the Israeli military said before he had cleared it of Hamas fighters.

A few days ago, another member of the war cabinet, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, asked Netanyahu to state publicly that Israel had no plans to take over civilian and military rule in Gaza.

Gallant and Gantz say maintaining military control of Gaza would increase Israel's security risks, while others, including far-right members of Netanyahu's ruling coalition in the government, believe continued control is necessary to defeat Hamas.

Among the six strategic goals he laid out were the return of all Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza and the return of displaced Palestinian civilians to northern Gaza by September 1.

In fact, according to him, Israel should continue to seek normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia as part of a "comprehensive process to create an alliance with the free world and the West against Iran and its allies."

In response to Gantz, Netanyahu said that meeting these demands would lead to "the end of the war and a defeat for Israel, the abandonment of most of the hostages, leaving Hamas intact and the creation of a Palestinian state."

Israel's war cabinet was created after Hamas attacked Israeli communities near Gaza on October 7, killing around 1,200 people and taking hostages.
