Benny Gantz’s resignation may not bring down the government, but it increases the pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a cease-fire proposal.
Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz announced his resignation from the government Saturday — a move that could destabilize Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hold on the coalition that leads it. Gantz, of the National Unity party, said last month that he would leave if Netanyahu did not come forward with a postwar plan by Saturday. None materialized, but on that day Israeli forces carried out a bloody raid on a central Gaza refugee camp to rescue four hostages.
Gantz delayed his scheduled news conference shortly thereafter. Netanyahu was already struggling to keep his coalition together. Gantz was one of the three voting members of the war cabinet, along with Likud party members Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. “The snowball has started to roll,” Gayil Talshir, a political scientist at Hebrew University, told The Washington Post before the announcement.
