Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In a surprising move, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, citing a breakdown of trust amid ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. This dismissal has sparked widespread protests and raised concerns about military strategy during a crucial time. Gallant had advocated for addressing the hostage crisis and reassessing military objectives, which clashed with Netanyahu's more aggressive tactics. The new Defence Minister, Israel Katz, lacks military experience, causing fear over Israel's ongoing military strategy. Analysts view this as a politically motivated move to consolidate power amidst an evolving war context.
