Yoav Gallant's Resignation: Paths for Netanyahu Become Clearer

In a remarkable move, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced that he will resign his parliamentary mandate in the near future. This decision could assist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in attaining majorities more easily in certain decisive votes in the future. Gallant, who was dismissed from his position by Netanyahu on November 5, had recently clashed with the Prime Minister on political issues. The two politicians were particularly divided over differences regarding the handling of a possible ceasefire with Hamas and decisions made by the Security Cabinet. After a long political career spanning more than a decade, Gallant now plans to take a personal break. This shift in the political fabric of the Israeli parliament highlights how dynamic power structures can change and what impact this may have on the government's ability to act.
