Benny Gantz resigns from war cabinet over absence of post-war Gaza plan

Gantz calls for early elections and accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of mismanaging war.

Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government on Sunday citing, amongst other reasons, the absence of a post-war plan for Gaza. The move does not immediately pose a threat to Netanyahu, who still controls a majority coalition in parliament, but the Israeli premier will now be more heavily reliant on his far-right allies for support. "Netanyahu prevents us from moving forward to a real victory [in Gaza]," Gantz said in a televised address. "That is why we are leaving the emergency government today with a heavy heart, but with a whole heart." Gantz's announcement fulfils an ultimatum he gave Netanyahu last month calling on him to lay out a new plan for the war on Gaza by 8 June. Gantz had been expected to resign on Saturday, but postponed the announcement following news that Israeli forces had rescued four captives in an operation Palestinians officials in Gaza said killed more than 270 people.
