Israeli PM Netanyahu fires Defence Minister Yoav Gallant

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday, citing a lack of trust in Gallant’s handling of Israel’s ongoing military operations. The move marks a significant shift in Israel’s leadership amid heightened tensions in the region.

In a statement released by Netanyahu’s office, Foreign Minister Israel Katz was appointed as the new Defence Minister, while Gideon Saar will assume the role of Foreign Minister. The shake-up in the Cabinet comes at a critical time as Israel continues to face military and security challenges.

Reacting to his dismissal, Gallant posted a message on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), reaffirming his commitment to Israel’s security: “The security of the state of Israel was and will always remain the mission of my life.” His comments suggest that he remains deeply dedicated to his role in defending the country, despite his removal from office.
