In shock move, Netanyahu fires defence minister citing ‘lack of trust’

In a sudden move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing irreconcilable differences over war management. This decision comes amid heightened tensions during the Gaza conflict, despite Netanyahu’s previous reluctance to remove Gallant. Gallant, following his dismissal, reaffirmed his commitment to Israel’s security. This development echoes a similar attempt in March 2023, which sparked widespread protests against Netanyahu’s leadership.
