Big effect in Israel! After approving the ceasefire agreement with the Islamist Hamas, the right-wing extremist police minister wants to leave the Israeli government, according to local media reports.
After the agreement came into effect on Sunday morning, Itamar Ben-Gvir and his party members wanted to resign, several Israeli media reported unanimously.
Ben-Gvir, who is currently also Minister of Security, had already threatened this step. He rejects the agreement with Hamas. Ben-Gvir also emphasized that he did not want to overthrow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This will continue to have a majority in parliament.
However, that could change if other parties follow Ben-Gvir’s example. The coalition could then try to remain in power as a minority government.
More problems before the ceasefire
Shortly before the planned start of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, new problems arise between the warring parties. According to Israeli sources, the Islamist Hamas has not yet provided a list of the names of the first three hostages expected to be released on Sunday. “Israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Saturday.
Without the list of names, Israel will not continue to implement the agreement. Hamas sources said the organization would send the list containing the names of the first three hostages in the coming hours. According to mediator Qatar, the ceasefire will come into effect on Sunday at 7:30 a.m. CET.
