Israel's Netanyahu Disbands War Cabinet

One week ago, Benny Gantz withdrew from the body

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has disbanded the country's war cabinet, an Israeli official has told CNN.

Netanyahu's decision comes after opposition leader Benny Gantz announced his withdrawal from the body last week, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s request to join.

The war cabinet was formed five days after the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas and included not only Netanyahu and Gantz but also Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Other politicians such as Gadi Eisenkot and Ron Dermer also took part as observers.
