Deep dives
The Dramatic Firing of Yoav Gallant
The termination of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is a significant event in Israeli politics, exacerbated by the ongoing war. Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to fire Gallant appears to be heavily influenced by political maneuvering rather than purely operational considerations. Previously, Gallant had warned against Netanyahu's judicial overhaul, suggesting it could compromise Israeli security, leading Netanyahu to attempt to dismiss him earlier in 2023. The recent firing underscores a deepening divide between Gallant's position and Netanyahu's desire to maintain control over the defense establishment amidst rising public dissatisfaction.
