Israeli Far-Right Ministers Resign Over Ceasefire Agreement with Hamas

The resignations weaken Netanyahu's coalition but do not topple his government, which retains a slim parliamentary majority.

Three ministers from the far-right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, have resigned in protest against the ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
The ceasefire deal, which facilitated the release of three hostages, was labeled 'scandalous' and 'irresponsible' by Ben Gvir, who demanded a complete halt to humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The resignations have strained Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition, which now holds a narrow majority of 63 seats in the 120-seat Knesset.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, another prominent far-right figure, has threatened to resign if the government does not resume military action against Hamas within six weeks.
Netanyahu is reportedly planning to fill the vacated ministerial positions with members of his Likud party to stabilize his government.
