The dismissal of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant sparked strong reactions in the midst of the war that Israel is waging on several fronts.

It is expected that a joint press conference will be held on Wednesday for opposition leaders in the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) after the dismissal decision.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a statement on Tuesday that Gallant was dismissed from his position, and Foreign Minister Israel Katz was appointed to take over the ministry as his successor, while Gideon Saar was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Netanyahu said: “The crisis of confidence that occurred between me and the Minister of Defense did not make it possible to continue managing the war in this way.”
