Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant Dismissed Amid Tensions Over Gaza War Strategy
Yoav Gallant, Israel’s recently sacked defence minister, clashed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over military strategy in the ongoing Gaza conflict. Gallant advocated for a shift in focus to addressing threats from Hezbollah at the northern border, while Netanyahu maintained a different approach regarding Gaza. His removal from office followed a significant decline in trust between the two leaders, with Netanyahu appointing Foreign Minister Israel Katz as his successor. Gallant, facing accusations of war crimes amid the conflict’s heavy civilian toll, is viewed by many as a responsible leader focused on national interests.
