Gantz will withdraw his centrist party from the conservative premier's emergency coalition if his expectations are not met.

JERUSALEM - Israeli war Cabinet minister Benny Gantz demanded on May 18 that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commit to an agreed vision for the Gaza conflict that would include stipulating who might rule the territory after the war with Hamas.If his expectations are not met, he said, he will withdraw his centrist party from the conservative premier's broadened emergency coalition.

If the prime minister were to do that, he would risk angering ultra-nationalist coalition parties that have called for Gaza to be annexed and settled.Losing them could topple Mr Netanyahu, who before the war failed to enlist more centrist partners, given his trial on corruption charges he denies.
