Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dissolved the war cabinet tasked with overseeing the conflict in Gaza, following the departure of a key political partner.
This move, seen as an effort to consolidate control over military and strategic decisions, comes amid widening cracks in Israel's political unity. The dissolution of the war cabinet, initially formed to include various factions in the government's decision-making process, has sparked internal political turmoil and increased public dissatisfaction with the handling of the war against Hamas and Hezbollah.
The departure of Netanyahu's political rival, citing a lack of a clear plan for Gaza's future, underscores the deepening divisions within the Israeli government.
