Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday, marking a dramatic shift in the country's leadership amid ongoing regional tensions. The move came hours after Gallant publicly criticized proposed judicial reforms, calling them a \"threat to national security.\"
Why It Matters
Gallant's firing highlights deepening divisions within Israel's government. Analysts say the decision could further polarize public opinion, with protests erupting in Tel Aviv shortly after the announcement.
The Prime Minister's office stated the decision was made to \"align leadership priorities,\" but opposition leaders called it a \"dangerous power play.\" No successor has been named yet.
Pro Tip: Gallant, a former Navy commander, had been a key figure in Israel's security strategy. His removal raises questions about the future of defense policies in the region.
