Israel’s far-right national security minister resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Cabinet to express his disapproval of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

Gvir, has resigned from the country’s ruling coalition in protest against the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, his Jewish Power party announced on Sunday. In a statement, the party called the ceasefire deal a "capitulation to Hamas" and criticised the "release of hundreds of murderers" and the "renouncing of the [Israeli military’s] achievements in the war" in Gaza.

Itamar Ben-Gvir says he will return to Cabinet if the war against Hamas resumes ‘with full force’ to achieve its ‘decisive goals’
