Hardline Israeli Minister Ben-gvir Threatens To Quit Over Gaza Deal by Richcreed(m): 9:43pm On Jan 17 |
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's hardline National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Thursday he would resign from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government if it ratifies the ceasefire deal in Gaza, which he has strongly opposed Israeli media outlets reported earlier that the cabinet was expected to vote to ratify the agreement on Friday, but there has been no confirmation from the prime minister's office. "The deal that is taking shape is a reckless deal," Ben-Gvir said in a televised statement, saying it would "erase the achievements of the war" by releasing hundreds of Palestinian militants and withdrawing from strategic areas in Gaza, leaving Hamas undefeated. "If this irresponsible deal is approved and implemented, we the members of Jewish Power will submit letters of resignation to the prime minister," he said, adding that he would, nonetheless, not seek to bring down the government. Itamar Ben Gvir stated he informed Netanyahu of his intention to withdraw from the government if the prisoner exchange deal is implemented, but would rejoin if the war resumes. He described the deal as a "disgrace and defeat" for Israel and announced plans to resign in protest. He criticized the joy witnessed in Gaza and the West Bank, claiming it reflects who truly submitted and surrendered in the war. The threat to quit came at the end of a day that saw ratification of the deal held up by what Netanyahu's office said was Hamas reneging on parts of the agreement reached with Qatari and Egyptian mediators. However, U.S. officials said they believed the issue had been ironed out and the ceasefire would begin on Sunday, as planned. Ben-Gvir this week urged Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who has described the deal as a "catastrophe," to join him in a last-ditch attempt to prevent a ceasefire deal, which he described as a dangerous capitulation to Hamas. Smotrich's Religious Zionism party repeated its opposition on Thursday, threatening to quit the government if it did not go back to war to defeat Hamas after the first six-week phase of the ceasefire was completed. The political tensions echo anger from some hostage families, who believe their own relatives risk being abandoned in Gaza and who have held a series of protests against the deal. Under the multi-phase agreement, 33 hostages will be released in the first stage before negotiations begin to agree the release of the remaining 65 and the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Some of the families believe the second stage will not be agreed. "This deal leaves dozens of hostages behind in Gaza. It also sets the stage for the next massacre and future kidnappings of Israelis," the Tivka Forum of Hostages' Families said in a statement. https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2025-01-16/hardline-israeli-minister-ben-gvir-threatens-to-quit-over-gaza-deal

Sobalim:. Be careful of supporting evil.Recently an American man was supporting the genocide,he even wrote on his Page that Israel should "kill them all","no cease fire","no negotiation"...etc, few days after making that statement,his house was completely destroyed in this L.A.fire disaster.He lost everything he has ever worked for in that house.He came out and cried,he said the people of Gaza should forgive him for what he said against them .Many Foreign media took the news.Search YouTube, you will see it..So whoever is supporting this genocide,I pray to God to bring calamity and disaster to him.the person will never have peace. |

He should go and work hard first so he can become rich enough to fund his war because Trump is not ready to use US taxpayers money to rub his ego. If you love war be ready to fund it |
