Senior Israeli Government Official Threatens To Resign

Dramatic. Minister Gantz issues an ultimatum to Netanyahu: develop a strategy designed to achieve six goals by June 8, or he will resign.

Gantz six conditions that the strategic plan must meet:

1. Bring home the hostages.

2. Topple the rule of Hamas, demilitarize the Gaza Strip, and ensure Israeli security control.

3. Establish an American-European-Arab-Palestinian civil administration that will manage civilian affairs in the Gaza Strip and lay the foundation for an alternative in the future that is neither Hamas nor Abbas.

4. Return the Israeli residents of the north to their homes by September 1 and revitalize life in the Western Negev.

5. Promote normalization with Saudi Arabia as part of a comprehensive move that will create an alliance with the free world and the Arab world against Iran.

6. Adopt a general outline regarding reform of the military draft that will result in all Israelis serving the state and contributing to the national effort.

I don't understand how Netanyahu didn't resignback in October

If all those people died on my watch ...

I couldn't live with myself

 @CrushedFr33SpeechWorking Familyfrom Indiana agreed…2wks2W

I have a feeling he wanted this outcome so he could eliminate Gaza.

This indicates to me that Gantz is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

If so, assuming he intends to ever take the PM seat, that means he's seeing a near horizon with a successful end to the war.

Bibi has been drafting off of American policy for months now, in his usual manner: I and only I can defend Israel from its enemy, the US… uh, I mean Hamas (wink).

When you see these large protests invariably it's a result of rampant corruption and abuse of power by those in charge. Democracy is supposed to act as a relief valve so that abuse can not become ingrained and bloodshed the only answer to aggrieved citizens.

They’re all protesting because they’re confused. Because Gantz is spreading pro Palestine lies. He wants to unite with Palestine before it’s reformed.

Netanyahu won’t relinquish power, aside from being a career politician, he faces prosecution once he steps out of power.

Even without the risk of prosecution, he will be an insignificant person w/o power. That will destroy his big man ego.

Netanyahu is a Putin wannabe…

Is mandatory military or national service a fair requirement for all citizens, and could it strengthen or divide a country?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

Can an external administration effectively manage civilian life in a conflicted area without being seen as an occupying force?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

Is the idea of demilitarizing an area like the Gaza Strip feasible or too idealistic, considering the complexities of modern conflicts?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

Should bringing home hostages be a top priority in international negotiations, even if it means making significant compromises?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2wks2W

How do you feel about a government official using resignation as a tactic to push for change?
