Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on Sunday citing, amongst other reasons, the absence of a post-war plan for Gaza.

The move does not immediately pose a threat to Netanyahu, who still controls a majority coalition in parliament, but the Israeli premier will now be more heavily reliant on his far-right allies for support.

“Netanyahu prevents us from moving forward to a real victory [in Gaza],” Gantz said in a televised address. “That is why we are leaving the emergency government today with a heavy heart, but with a whole heart.”

Nine months into the war, Israel is yet to achieve its stated objectives as most of Hamas’ top leadership remains at large and more than 100 hostages are still held in the enclave.

    What? You’re in the government. There isn’t a plan. The plan is genocide and land stealing. You know that you complicit fuck.
