Netanyahu Dismisses Defense Minister Gallant Amid Ongoing Conflict
TL;DR
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing a "crisis of trust" that has developed between them. Gallant will be replaced by Israel Katz, pending government and Knesset approval. The decision comes amid internal political tensions and follows Gallant's public criticism of Netanyahu's policies, including judicial reforms and military service exemptions for haredi students. This marks the second time Netanyahu has attempted to remove Gallant, with the first attempt in March 2023 leading to widespread protests.
