Number two in the Israeli war cabinet, Benny Ganz finally convened a press conference this Sunday evening, at which, according to almost all Israeli media reports, announces his resignation from office due to the lack of solutions for the post-war future in the Gaza Strip.

Gantz was due to speak to the media on Saturday, but finally decided to end the call so as not to distract attention about the rescue operation carried out that day by Israeli forces in the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, which resulted in the successful release of four hostages.

Now, Gantz called the media at 20:00 (11:00 in central Mexico). to a press conference in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv, reports Times of Israel.

Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu Yesterday he sent a public appeal to Gantz asking him to reconsider his more than likely resignation. “It’s time for unity, not division” The president announced this on his account on the social network X.

In response, Gantz responded in the same way that “besides the joy justified by the achievement” of the return of the hostages “We must be mindful of the challenges we continue to face.” and called for “responsible consideration of the best possible path forward from this point.”

Last month, Gantz appeared on television to present Netanyahu with an ultimatumthreatening to quit the coalition government, the core of the war cabinet, unless the prime minister provides him with a satisfactory plan for the Gaza conflict by 8 June.
