Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has quit the emergency government, in a sign of deepening divisions over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s post-conflict plans for Gaza.
Speaking during a news conference in Tel Aviv on Sunday where he announced his resignation, Mr Gantz said the decision was made with a "heavy heart".
Mr Gantz is a political rival of Mr Netanyahu and a former chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
His centrist National Unity party was in opposition until 11 October 2023 when, after the start of the war following Hamas’s 7 October attacks, he agreed to form an emergency government with Mr Netanyahu.
