After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the abrupt dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Israel’s fragmented opposition has rallied together, calling for widespread protests across the nation. Leading opposition figures have criticized Netanyahu’s decision, accusing him of jeopardizing national security for political gain. Former Prime Minister Yair Lapid and others expressed outrage, questioning the implications of Gallant’s dismissal during a time of conflict. As citizens took to the streets in protests, tensions escalated, with demonstrators blocking major roads in Tel Aviv, branding Netanyahu a traitor. The dismissal officially takes effect on Thursday.
