Israeli war cabinet member says Gallant is right to criticise post-war plan for Gaza

Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz voiced support on Wednesday for Defence Minister Yoav Gallant’s critique of the government’s plan for "open-ended" Israeli military rule over the the besieged Strip.

Gantz “spoke the truth”, Gallant said in a video statement. “The responsibility of leadership is to do right thing for the country, at any price.”

Netanyahu’s latest comments raised a post-war scenario for Gaza consisting of Israeli-led security control over Gaza, after achieving its "war goal" of dismantling Hamas’s government in Gaza.

Gallant on Wednesday openly challenged Netanyahu over his plans and told reporters that he had pushed for a Palestinian administration for the past months but received "no response" from within government.
