ALBAWABA- Israeli media reports that the United Nations has officially added Israel to its blacklist, marking a significant political blow to the country.

In response, the Hebrew Broadcasting Authority noted that the State Camp party, led by Benny Gantz, is considering withdrawing from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s coalition, with expectations high for Gantz's departure unless unexpected developments occur. 

On May 17, 2024, Israeli War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz demanded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commit to a clear vision for the Gaza conflict, including who would govern the territory post-war.

 During a press conference, Gantz called for the formation of a six-point plan by June 8. He warned that if his expectations are not met, he will withdraw his centrist party from Netanyahu's emergency coalition.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting Israel's battles on multiple fronts, including the south, north, and Judea and Samaria. 

He acknowledged the intense international pressures but vowed to change the current reality, expressing confidence in Israel’s soldiers, commanders, and security forces to secure the nation's safety.
