In Israel, the war cabinet formed after the attack by the terrorist organization Hamas in October is on the brink of collapse. Leading opposition politician Benny Gantz has threatened to quit the cabinet if it fails to agree on a six-point plan for the Gaza conflict by June 8. This plan is intended to establish post-war order for the Palestinian territory and also end the exemption of Orthodox Jews from Israeli military service.

Even the US is distancing itself from Israel
If Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not live up to expectations, his party will leave the wartime government, former army chief and ex-Defense Minister Gantz stressed.
Addressing Netanyahu, he said: “The people of Israel are looking at you. You have to decide: victory or disaster.”
Fight for a Gaza solution
The government has been struggling for weeks with the question of how Israel should deal with the Gaza Strip after the defeat of the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas. Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners want to permanently occupy the Palestinian territory and expel its population. Gantz’s comments came a day before US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s visit to Israel.
The US government has distanced itself from its long-time ally under strong domestic political pressure. US President Joe Biden threatened to cut off US military aid if the country carried out the controversial offensive in the border city of Rafah, the last refuge for hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu is sticking to his plans to take power because the Hamas leadership is suspected of being there too.
