Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir resigned in protest over Gaza ceasefire deal. Ben-Gvir, a controversial figure, had been a key ally of Netanyahu's far-right coalition.

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

The first-stage ceasefire and hostage deal approved by Israel's cabinet on Saturday is a "complete victory for terrorism," Itamar Ben-Gvir said.

With his far-right coalition partners opposing an end to the war and threatening to quit, the Israeli prime minister may have to choose: them or the agreement.

Israeli hardline minister Ben Gvir resigns from the Benjamin Netanyahu government over ceasefire deal with Hamas in Gaza.

Netanyahu’s attorney Amit Hadad told the court on Saturday night that Netanyahu’s medical documents stated that “it is recommended to avoid continuous activity for more than three hours without rest in the coming week, as well as to avoid long trips, sitting or standing for long periods.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have finally relented. After more than a year of refusing to agree to an end to the war in Gaza, he is now pushing through a ceasefire that – mediators insist – will do just that.

It is not too late. We're about to attend a government meeting, and we have the authority to halt this transaction,' Ben-Gvir says in video statement following Security Cabinet approval of deal - Anad

In his resignation letter to Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir criticized the Gaza ceasefire deal as a surrender to terror that crosses all ideological red lines.

In a speech as Israel awaited the release of the first hostages on Saturday, Mr Netanyahu said both president Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the president-elect, had promised him Israel had the right to resume the fighting “in new ways and with very great power” if Hamas violated the deal.
