Gantz Says He'll Quit Unless Netanyahu Moves to New War Plan

The country of the weekend, I thought from Bennigan's was really interesting. He was saying that he would like to see the Prime Minister shift course on Gaza or he would quit. Really breaking ranks here, isn't he? He is, but we kind of knew it was coming, so we know the tension has been there for a long time. They weren't exactly best friends to start with. Fundamentally though, it doesn't appear to change very much. It definitely adds tension to the existing problem, but the reality is if he walks out of the war cabinet, Bibi still has a majority in the Knesset. It looks like the ultra conservative is a very unlikely to walk away from the coalition because if they do, they effectively lose power and based on all the polling that we can see now. Yes, Gans would get into office, so they would effectively get out of office. So they're not going to self immolate basically. The criticism is going louder and louder and this isn't you know the comments of any council come in a vacuum and towards the end of the week last week I thought it was really interesting. The defense Minister Gallant also said that he was he had serious concerns about what the plan was for Gaza post war. And it seems to me that no the the the rules are beginning to turn in a little bit on the Prime Minister. How damaging is that going to be for him to be able to continue to be able to continue with the war efforts. I mean I would argue that the baby's already pretty damaged and he's that damages unfolded over several months. And it is also true to say that there really isn't a plan for post war Gaza. So we know there's been discussions going on trying to build some sort of coalition, particularly amongst the Arab countries, that will be effectively A caretaker security force in Gaza until you can get something resembling A Palestinian administration with any credibility. But there is a great reluctance among the Arab states to do that because they know that once they get involved, where exactly is the end game? What guarantees are there that you will end up with something resembling A2 state solution or indeed a credible Palestinian administration of any sort whatsoever? So it feels like everyone is trying to avoid the issue. Yeah, I mean Benny Gantz threatens that if the if it's six point proposal hasn't been met by June the 6th, then he would quit. So it seems like June the 6th could be another potential day to watch out for in the future there. Yeah. And the analysts that we spoke to yesterday have said that sort of a little bit of a misfire. You know, if I think the quote was along the lines of, you know if you're going to shoot, you shoot now, you don't give a three weeks heads up for someone to basically rally a defense.
