The Israeli government has been thrown into chaos as politicians in Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet threaten to resign.
Pressure has continued to mount on the Israeli leader to find a postwar plan for Gaza even as the war shows no sign of ending.
In the months following the devastating October 7 terrorist attack, Israeli politics has remained remarkably unified but that united front looks as though it is about to be shattered.
On Saturday evening Benny Gantz, a centrist member of Netanyahu's war cabinet and his main rival for the top job, threatened to leave the government on June 8 if it did not formulate a new war plan.
This includes an international, Arab and Palestinian administration to govern Gaza.
The leader of the National Unity party said: 'If you choose the path of fanatics and lead the entire nation to the abyss, we will be forced to quit the government.'
Gantz has been joined by Defence Minister Yoav Gallant who has also called for a plan for Palestinian administration, and said in a speech this week that he wouldn't agree to Israel governing Gaza itself.
Netanyahu has ruled out any role for the Palestinian Authority in Gaza, instead he claims he wants to hand power to local Palestinian.
The PM has also ruled out any such plans until Hamas is defeated because it has threatened anyone who cooperates with Israel. He also remains deeply opposed to Palestinian statehood.
In a statement issued after the ultimatum, Netanyahu said Gantz' conditions would amount to 'defeat for Israel, abandoning most of the hostages, leaving Hamas intact and establishing a Palestinian state.'
Netanyahu added, however, that he still thought the emergency government was important for prosecuting the war, and that he 'expects Gantz to clarify his positions to the public.'

I sense a colour revolution.
Gantz has proven himself a libtard and fool multiple times.
Looks like the same old enemy within.
Ideally, they should capture every man of military age.
The IDF will have to be in all the schools and the mosques.
It's unlikely that the Israelis will be up for that.
So Hamas will rebuild and attack Israel again.
He represents the Israeli people, the folks living in Tel Aviv are no different from the secular Jews you meet in NYC.
It’s NOT a War.
It’s a special [existential] military operation.
Cockroach patrol on steroids...decades overdue.
Actually, they are worse, if that were possible.
And you are correct. Pressure from the Biden junta.
Wow. How is that possible?
Chaos from a quitter?
The smell is in the air a hostage release rally in Israel Saturday night with a Hillary Clinton video message.
I don’t know anything about Gantz, but I do know Netanyahu and will side with him.
Somebody was paid off by the ragheads or US to throw a monkey wrench into the works
I smell Obama and Biden. Their hatred for Netanyahu is well documented. This would not be the first time they have tried to overthrow the Israeli government. Given the high political stakes for Biden, there is almost no doubt this is being funded and orchestrated by the alphabet agencies under Biden’s direction.
At Shabbat dinner outside of Tel Aviv on Friday night, my very politically liberal Israeli hosts expressed the opinion that Netanyahu was purposefully delaying the end of the war, because his governance will end when the war ends. Therefore, they believe the war will go on as long as possible so the Right can continue to control as much of the government as possible. They are confident the Left will win the next election.
I kept my mouth shut on this subject, as I am relatively ignorant, shouldn’t involve myself in local politics, and oughtn’t annoy my hosts by being disagreeable.
But the Left / Right fracture in Israel seems stronger than in the U.S.
Instead, when the Arabs tire of the task or find that they are not being paid enough for it, they will just leave and let Hamas declare a Palestinian state and again dig tunnels and fire rocket barrages at Israel. To prevent that, Israel will have to keep a firm foot on Gaza for many years to come.
Benny Gantz is a disgusting piece of pot-stirring leftist sh!t. May his teeth be broken in a spectacular way. (Ps. 58:6 reference)
I can see that happening.
