Gaza War

Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, on Monday threatened to topple the administration of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Ben-Gvir said if Netanyahu ends the war in Gaza Strip without launching an offensive on the southern city of Rafah, his government will be toppled.

Posting on X, Ben-Gvir wrote: 'If the Prime Minister decides to end the war without an extensive attack on Rafah in order to defeat Hamas, he will not have a mandate to continue serving as Prime Minister.' Gvir's threat comes amid reports of a possible breakthrough in Israel's indirect negotiations with Hamas to reach a hostage-prisoners exchange deal and a cease-fire.

5 million refugees have taken refuge. Netanyahu rules with 64 seats in the 120-member Knesset, or parliament. His coalition has five other parties, including two far-right parties led by Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, who have a combined 13 seats. Sixty-one seats are needed for a majority government. Israel has waged a military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, cross-border attack by Palestinian group Hamas which claimed about 1,200 lives.
