Netanyahu dissolves War Cabinet following departure of key figures.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made the decision to dissolve his War cabinet after the departure of two key figures, in a move that has caused uproar both nationally and internationally. This measure comes just over a week after the Israeli opposition leader, Benny Gantz, and his political ally, Gadi Eisenkot, left the cabinet due to differences with Netanyahu regarding the strategy for the war in Gaza. The War cabinet was created in October last year as part of a national unity government, with the aim of addressing the crisis unleashed by Hamas' attack on Israeli soil and the subsequent ground incursion by the Palestinian militant group. However, the departure of Gantz and Eisenkot, both retired generals who led the Israel Defense Forces, has weakened the structure and cohesion of this vital organ in times of conflict. Gantz, who was seen as the preferred link to the United States in the War cabinet, had advocated for the creation of this smaller group and its participation in the national unity government. Gantz's resignation, followed by the dissolution of the cabinet, has exposed internal fractures and lack of consensus on fundamental strategic issues for Israel's security. Pressure from the Minister of National Security, Itamar ben Gvir, from the far right, to obtain a place in the War cabinet, has also been a determining factor in Netanyahu's decision. Gvir's inclusion would have generated tensions with the United States and other international allies, further complicating the already complex political and military situation in the region. Now, it is expected that Netanyahu will make crucial decisions about the war in smaller and select meetings, which will involve his Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, the Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, and other key figures. This reconfiguration in decision-making may have significant implications for the development of the situation in Gaza and Israel's international relations. The transfer of some previously discussed issues in the War cabinet to the external security cabinet, which includes far-right ministers, raises questions about the approach and direction that Netanyahu's government will take on national security issues. The reorganization of the decision-making structure in critical moments like these can have far-reaching consequences for Israel and its position on the international stage. Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces have assured that the dissolution of the War cabinet will not affect the chain of command and that they will continue to operate normally under the established leadership. However, the political crisis triggered by Netanyahu's decision comes at a time of growing tensions both internally, with protests against his government, and in the context of relations with Hamas and other regional actors. The possibility of calling for new elections, advocated by some political sectors in Israel, adds an element of uncertainty to the current situation. The figure of Benny Gantz, a favorite in the polls to be the next prime minister, becomes relevant in this context of changes and realignments in the Israeli political scene. Amidst this complex scenario, where the number of casualties in Gaza continues to rise, it is essential for Israel to find a coherent and effective strategy to address the security challenges it faces. The dissolution of the War cabinet marks a turning point in Netanyahu's leadership and raises questions about the direction the country will take in the coming months amid a volatile and constantly evolving regional situation.
