Moderate politician Benny Gantz has stepped down from Israel’s war cabinet, citing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's obstruction of strategic decisions in the Gaza conflict. While Netanyahu retains parliamentary majority, Gantz's departure increases reliance on far-right allies. Gantz, a former military chief, initially joined Netanyahu's government in a display of unity after a Hamas attack. His exit, prompted by Netanyahu's failure to outline a postwar Gaza plan, highlights tensions within the coalition. Gantz's departure may impact Israel's international credibility, given his positive rapport with U.S. officials.
