Israeli Ex-Minister Claims Netanyahu's Cabinet Fails to Meet Objectives in Occupied Territories

According to SAEDNEWS, Benny Gantz, a prominent figure in Israeli politics, has voiced concerns about the capabilities of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet to effectively manage the situation in the occupied territories. According to reports from Zionist media outlets, Gantz emphasized that the current leadership is struggling to achieve its stated goals.

Gantz pointed to marked differences between Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Prime Minister Netanyahu, suggesting that these internal conflicts hinder the government's ability to maintain effective control over the occupied regions. The former defense minister argued that such divisions within the cabinet undermine the overall mission and effectiveness of the government.

In light of the challenges facing Netanyahu’s administration, Gantz proposed establishing a mutually agreed-upon timeline for elections. He believes that this initiative could alleviate some of the political pressure on the prime minister, providing a clearer path forward for the government.

Earlier this year, Gantz made headlines by resigning from Netanyahu's government in June, a move that came as a significant blow to the prime minister, who had recently celebrated a rare success regarding the rescue of prisoners held in Gaza. Despite Netanyahu's appeals for Gantz to remain in the emergency government—citing the need for unity during challenging times—Gantz opted to step down, further highlighting the divisions within the current administration.
