Netanyahu fires Defense Minister Galant - what is behind it?

In a dramatic political upheaval, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Defense Minister Joav galant released! In an official message from his office, Netanyahu explained that he had lost confidence in gallant. The previous Foreign Minister Israel Katz will be deployed as the new Minister of Defense. This decision provides excitement and divides the opinions in the country.

Netanyahu justified the dismissal by the fact that trust between him and gallantly had broken in the past few months. "Although there was confidence in the first months of the war and the work was very fruitful, this trust broke up," said the premier. Galant made decisions and made explanations that would have contradicted the official decisions of the cabinet. The majority of cabinet members support Netanyahu's decision on what the tensions within the government further fueled.

Repeated discharge and heated reactions

This is not the first time that Netanyahu is gallantly released. Already in April of last year he lost his post after he had publicly performed against a controversial judicial reform. After massive protests, however, the decision was withdrawn. Galan himself commented on his dismissal and emphasized: "The security of the state of Israel was always my life's work and will always remain."

The reactions to the discharge are mixed. The opposition leader Benny Gantz sharply criticized the decision and described it as "politics at the expense of national security". In contrast, the right -wing police minister Ben Gvir cheered: "With gallant, the victory in the war was impossible!" This change of power could have far -reaching consequences for Israel's security policy.
