ALBAWABA- In a striking indication of division within the Israeli war cabinet and significant losses suffered by the Israeli army in recent days due to intense Palestinian resistance, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized the need for decisive action.
Gallant expressed frustration, stating that his calls for an alternative to Hamas rule in Gaza went unanswered, leading to the possibility of military rule, which he opposes. He highlighted efforts to weaken Hamas's military capabilities, particularly in Rafah.
Despite the challenges, Gallant underscored the importance of Israel's strong bilateral relations with the United States and emphasized the need to establish an alternative government in Gaza.
Gallant rejected the idea of Israeli military rule in Gaza, citing potential bloodshed and long-lasting consequences.
In response, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for Gallant's replacement to achieve the war's goals, further underscoring the internal tensions within the Israeli government.
