Jerusalem. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Galant. Netanyahu said there was a lack of trust between them, which is not good in times of war. According to the Times of Israel, Foreign Minister Israel Katz will take over as Defense Minister. At the same time, Gideon Saar will now be the Foreign Minister of Israel. A letter was handed over to Gallant from Netanyahu’s office at 8 pm on Tuesday night. In this, Netanyahu had written that his tenure would end 48 hours after receiving the letter. I thank you for your service as Defense Minister.
Netanyahu informed about the removal of Yoav Galant from the post through a video message. Netanyahu said that at the beginning of the war there was trust between us, we worked together a lot, but in the last few months this trust between us was eroding. We did not agree with each other on many aspects of the war. Gallant has many times given such decisions and statements which did not have the consent of the cabinet.
