Netanyahu fires defense minister Yoav Gallant

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on November 5, 2024.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz will now become Defense Minister. Gideon Saar will become the Foreign Minister.

Netanyahu says: “Unfortunately, over the past few months, the trust between me and the minister of defense has cracked. Significant gaps were discovered in the management of the war, and these gaps were accompanied by statements and actions that contradict the decisions of the government and the decisions of the cabinet.”

This situation is noted as a developing story.
