War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz on Sunday night announced that his National Unity Party would leave the government that was established after October 7th.
At a press conference in Ramat Gan, Gantz said, “It was an easy decision to enter the government, but the decision to leave was very difficult.”
“Unfortunately, Netanyahu is stopping us from reaching a true victory,” continued Gantz. “Therefore, we are now leaving, today, the unity government. With a heavy heart, but wholeheartedly.”
Gantz urged Netanyahu to do “everything he can” to support Biden’s 3-phase hostage deal.
Gantz said National Unity will back “any responsible roadmap” from the opposition.
