GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Member of Hamas’s political bureau Ezzet al-Resheq said on Monday that the Palestinian resistance, spearheaded by al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas, took apart the Israeli war cabinet that had been formed to dismantle the resistance eight months ago.
Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu dissolved on Monday his six-member war cabinet in an expected move after ministers Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot resigned from the government over frustration with Netanyahu’s handling of the war.
The Hebrew media said that Netanyahu informed his ministers that he disbanded the war cabinet after far-right security minister Itamar Ben Gvir asked to join it.
Netanyahu is now expected to hold consultations about the Gaza war with a small group of ministers, including war minister Yoav Gallant and strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer, who had been in the war cabinet.
The war Cabinet was formed in the early days of the war, when Gantz, then an opposition party leader, joined the coalition in a show of unity following the October 7 attack on southern Israel by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
At the time, Netanyahu decided to form a small decision-making body responsible for steering the war in a bid to sideline the far-right members of his government.
