Gantz to Netanyahu: If you don't change course by June 8 we will withdraw from the government

In a move likely to increase the already high political tension at the highest levels of Israel's government, Minister-without-portfolio Benny Gantz gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a deadline until June 8 to agree to a comprehensive strategic plan for the 'day after' Hamas in Gaza, and threatened to leave the government if this did not happen.

"Lately, something has gone wrong," Gantz said. "Essential decisions were not made. Essential leadership decisions to ensure victory were not done. A small minority has taken over the command bridge of the Israeli ship of state and is steering her toward the rocks," Gantz said, referring to Netanyahu's far-right political partners, who repeatedly threatened in recent weeks that they would bring down the government if he made concessions that Gantz supported.

"Personal and political considerations have infiltrated the holy of holies of Israeli security," Gantz said.

Gantz listed six objectives that Netanyahu must adopt or face his withdrawal from government:

Gantz gets really on my nerves, I'm sure on Bibi's too

praying they all stay on the same page and route the enemy, or pay for it in more attacks down the road because if Hama gets away they will regroup and scheme more vicious atrocities against Israel, it's what they live for.

Carolyn Glick shredded Gantz on last week's podcast. She is so well informed and ahead of the game, but even she was commenting how 'now we know' as surprised as anyone.

She said that Gantz is why the IDF hasn't kept soldiers in place after clearing areas in N. Gaza so now they need to go back in and reclear formerly secured sites; now we see why there hasn't been an urgent push to go into Rafah. She even suggests that it's because of Gantz that the IDF had such a slow response on Oct. 7

I hadn't watched her yet, but that makes sense. Gantz is awful.

Sounds like Gantz is the Biden Administration's mouthpiece pushing to get Netanyahu out.

He is, and what's worse he was double compromised some years back by BOTH the Russians AND the Iranians hacking into his personal cell phone on 2 SEPARATE occasions (most people would learn the first time) and both times Israeli classified info was compromised.

But that didn't stop him from helping Naftali Bennett and that other guy from grabbing the Prime Minister position from Netanyahu all with the US State Dept and White House blessing.

All 100% true. There is a difference this time. Previously when someone would threaten to withdraw from a coalition it would cause the current government to collapse and throw Israel into elections. That won't happen this time Netanyahu has a solid majority at 64. He should just let Gantz and Gallant move on down the road!

Exactly, and Gantz is losing whatever popularity he had with Israelis. He is a US sockpuppet.
