"Israeli Minister Gideon Sa'ar Quits Unity Government Over Exclusion from War Cabinet"

Israeli minister Gideon Saar has resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's emergency unity government, citing his exclusion from the highest-level war cabinet overseeing the conflict with Hamas in Gaza. Saar, a former rival to Netanyahu, joined the government along with other opposition members to manage the war effort, but felt sidelined when he was not included in the decision-making war cabinet. His departure, along with another ally, is not expected to destabilize Netanyahu's government, which still holds a majority in parliament.
