A key member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet, Benny Gantz, has announced his withdrawal from the country's war cabinet.
Tehran -ISNA- Israeli War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz announced Sunday in a televised address his resignation from the Israeli war cabinet, calling it a painful decision.
"Leaving the government is a complex and painful decision," he said. However, he rescinded his sorrow by underlining that the Israeli regime was dealing hesitantly with existential issues based on the political interests of a few.
Gantz also acknowledged the failure to secure the release of Israeli captives from Gaza. He emphasized that "true victory prioritizes the return of hostages over political considerations."
Highlighting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's role in obstructing a genuine victory, Gantz admitted that "there will be no quick and easy victory," and warned that "the war will continue for years."
Regarding the situation in the northern settlements of occupied Palestine, where confrontations with Hezbollah persist, Gantz called for the return of settlers to the region and the establishment of a regional alliance.
Shortly after the announcement, another minister without portfolio, former IDF Chief of Staff, Gadi Eisenkot, also resigned from the cabinet. Yechiel Tropper, a member of the Knesset, made the same announcement.
