Jun 17, 2024, 09:26 AM

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dissolved the six-member war cabinet, a decision that follows the resignation of key members, including centrist former general Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot. The war cabinet was initially formed on October 11 to manage the military campaigns against Hamas and Hezbollah. Netanyahu informed ministers of the dissolution and stated that future sensitive decisions will be made in a smaller forum of aides and relevant officials. This move comes amid demands from Ben Gvir and Smotrich to join or reduce the cabinet's role in decision-making.
