Israel's Netanyahu dismisses defense minister in surprise announcement
Briefly

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant marks a significant shift amid ongoing tensions, showcasing the political volatility during the Gaza conflict.
This unexpected decision comes after Netanyahu had previously resisted calls to fire Gallant despite their repeated clashes over military strategy and handling of the war.
Gallant's removal echoes earlier controversies when an attempt to dismiss him in March 2023 incited large public protests, highlighting his popularity and the public's concern over political stability.
Netanyahu's choice to part ways with Gallant, amidst such crucial military challenges, raises questions about the future of Israel's defense leadership and strategic direction.
