Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu Has Fired Defense Minister Yoav Galant. by Richcreed(m): 8:43am On Nov 06
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Yoav Galant according to Netanyahu's office. He is replaced by Foreign Minister Israel Katz. Gallant has been one of the most controversial Israeli defense ministers because of his failures in the Gaza war since October 7, 2023.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "Unfortunately, over the past few months, the trust between me and the Minister of Defense has been broken. Significant gaps were discovered in the management of the campaign, and these gaps were accompanied by statements and actions that contradict the decisions of the government and the decisions of the cabinet" - the quote is provided by Israeli Channel 12.

Here are Gallant's most significant failures as Israel’s defense minister:

🌏October 7 attack. Gallant had been the minister of defense since December 2022, so Hamas' unprecedented attack on Israeli territory on October 7, 2023, came under his responsibility. The Israeli forces were not ready to respond on this quick attack and Hamas was able to take hundreds of Israeli hostages in settlements near the Gaza Strip border. As relatives of the hostages noted, army units were unable to approach the border for at least eight hours. Responsibility for the failure was later admitted by the former head of military intelligence, Aaron Haliva, but Defense Minister Gallant never did.

🌏Humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Carpet air raids of the Gaza Strip, a complete blockade of the enclave in 2023 and heavy raids were also Gallant's responsibility.

🌏Lebanon. Despite bombings of mostly all major cities in Lebanon, as well as bombing of roads with civilians stuck in traffic jams, the Israel Defense Forces have not achieved any military success in Lebanon. Israel does not control a single border settlement in Lebanon, despite several attempts to occupy some of them during ground operations. At the same time, the stated goal of military operations on the northern Israeli border - ensuring security for the Upper Galilee residents and the ability for its residents to return home after evacuation - has not yet been achieved. On the contrary, the shelling of the northern Israel is only increasing.

🌏Lack of response to Iran's attacks. Israel has failed to give a clear response to either of Iran's two large-scale missile attacks on Israeli territory. Israeli media blame Gallant for this. The latest Iranian missile attack on Israel caused serious damage to the IDF's Nevatim air force base, which was hit by at least 10 missiles, according to satellite images and to both Iranian and Western media reports. Israel has not yet officially announced the aftermath of that strike.

🌏'Iron Dome' and Israeli ports. Israel's air defense system has failed to protect the port of Eilat from attacks by Yemeni Houthis. The port's director previously estimated that its operations were currently working at only 3% capacity due to regular attacks. At the same time, with the start of full-scale hostilities in Lebanon, attacks on the Haifa port continue to mount. Haifa is home to Israel's largest commercial port - and if the Defense Ministry fails to properly protect it, Israel will face an economic crisis, among other things.
