Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Dismisses Defense Minister Gallant Amid Trust Crisis

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Dismisses Defense Minister Gallant Amid Trust Crisis
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On Tuesday, November 5th, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for the second time, citing a crisis of trust between the two. Netanyahu explained that Gallant and his office had initially worked well during the early months of the “military operation” in Gaza, but disagreements in recent months led to a breakdown in trust. “In the midst of a war, more than ever, full trust is required between the prime minister and the minister of defense,” Netanyahu said.

Gallant responded by reaffirming his commitment to Israel’s security. He attributed his dismissal to his positions on three key issues: advocating for painful compromises to secure the release of Gaza hostages, calling for a commission of inquiry into Israel’s handling of the October 7th attacks, and supporting legislation to end military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jewish men.

The timing of the firing has raised concerns, particularly with the ongoing wars in Gaza and Lebanon. Gallant had publicly criticized Netanyahu’s handling of the conflicts, specifically regarding Israel’s long-term strategy and its future role in Gaza. He had previously argued that Palestinian leadership, not Israel, should take charge of post-Hamas governance in the region.

Political opponents, including Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid, sharply criticized Netanyahu’s decision, accusing him of putting political survival ahead of national security. Gantz called it “politics at the expense of national security,” while Lapid labeled it an “act of madness.”

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which represents families of 101 Israeli hostages held by Hamas, expressed deep concern, warning that Gallant’s firing could complicate efforts to secure their release.

International reactions followed swiftly, with a spokesperson from the United States National Security Council expressing unease over Gallant’s dismissal, particularly in light of the ongoing conflicts.

After Gallant’s removal, Netanyahu appointed Israel Katz, the current foreign minister, to the defense portfolio, while Gideon Saar will take over Katz’s role as foreign minister.
