Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to sack Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and appoint Gideon Sa'ar, head of the New Hope party, as the new defence chief, Israeli media reported.quoted sources on Monday as saying that negotiations are under way between Netanyahu's office and Sa'ar — who opposes a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal with Palestinian resistance group Hamas — to replace Gallant, who has been at odds with Netanyahu's war strategy in besieged Gaza.
Israeli media recently reported deep differences between Netanyahu and top security officials, including Gallant, who says the time is right for a ceasefire in Gaza, contrary to Netanyahu, who insists on continuing the war and keeping control of the Palestine-Egypt border area, known as the Philadelphi Corridor or Saladin Axis.the reason the hostage deal is being stalled is Israel, saying that he supports a ceasefire deal rather than Netanyahu's"total victory nonsense.
Netanyahu responded, saying that Gallant adopts an anti-Israel narrative that lowers the chances of releasing the hostages in Gaza. Thousands of Israelis have been protesting against Netanyahu for weeks, accusing him of thwarting the swap deal and urging the government to accept a truce with Hamas.
