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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.”

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.
