The Israeli Prime Minister dissolved the six-member war cabinet after the departure of centrist former general Benny Gantz, Euronews reports.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially dissolved the six-member war cabinet, an Israeli official confirmed on Monday.
This follows the recent departure of centrist former general Benny Gantz from the government.
Gantz had been a key figure in the unity government formed at the onset of the Gaza war in October.
The dissolution of the war cabinet, established on 11 October to manage military campaigns against Hamas and Hezbollah, marks a significant shift in the Israeli government's approach to the ongoing conflict.
The cabinet initially included Gantz's partner, Gadi Eisenkot, and leader of the religious party Shas Aryeh Deri as observers.
Netanyahu now plans to consult a smaller group of ministers on critical decisions related to the Gaza war. This group will include Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, both of whom were members of the now-dissolved war cabinet.
