Rome, 8 June 2024 – La Israeli political situation could change this evening: the minister Benny Gantz should announce its own resignation in a press conference at 8.40pm. At the same time, his party, National Union, should move to the opposition of the government led by Benjamin Netanyahu. This at the stroke of a ultimatum launched last month, which gave us until today to draw up a “action plan” for the post-war period in the Gaza Strip.

Israel: Minister Gantz will resign this evening
Minister Benny Gantz, who joined Natanyahu’s government last October to form a ‘war cabinet’, will announce his resignation at a press conference this evening. In fact, today the ultimatum launched last month expires, as an “action plan” for the post-war period in the Gaza Strip has not yet been drawn up. Last week Gantz’s party, the National Union, presented a proposal to dissolve parliament, which is unlikely to be adopted given that Netanyahu’s Likud still enjoys a majority.
