Deep dives
Dismissal of Defense Minister Gallant
The unexpected dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed deep fractures within the Israeli government. Prime Minister Netanyahu cited a lack of trust, particularly concerning Gallant's stance on military drafts affecting the Ultra-Orthodox community. Gallant's ousting came shortly after tensions surrounding the Haredi draft bill intensified, with indications that he had opposed Netanyahu's proposed legislation. This dismissal seems to signal Netanyahu's ongoing efforts to silence dissent within his coalition, as his administration continues to navigate mounting pressure regarding military policies.
