Gantz's Resignation Shakes Israel's Wartime Unity Government

The departure of Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot highlights deep divisions over Gaza strategy and future governance.

Benny Gantz resigned from Israel's emergency government, citing frustration over Netanyahu's lack of a clear Gaza strategy.
Gantz's resignation, along with Gadi Eisenkot's, has ended the unity war cabinet formed after Hamas's October 7 attack.
Netanyahu now relies more heavily on far-right coalition partners, increasing their influence on military decisions.
Public opinion polls suggest Gantz's National Unity party would defeat Netanyahu's Likud in potential early elections.
The collapse of the unity government raises concerns about prolonged conflict and heightened tensions with Hezbollah.
