War cabinet minister Benny Gantz is opposed to public calls for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced now, the Kan public broadcaster reports, citing sources close to Gantz.

The sources say that he views calls to oust Netanyahu in the middle of the war as “nothing less than crazy.”

However, they add that Gantz firmly believes that the time will come to fully examine who’s responsible for the failures that led to the October 7 Hamas assault on Israel.
