In ultimatum to Netanyahu, Gantz demands post-war plan by June 8 or he’ll quit coalition
Benny Gantz demands that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commit to an agreed vision for the Gaza conflict that would include stipulating who might rule the territory after the war with Hamas.
Gantz says he wants the war cabinet to form a six-point plan by June 8 for Gaza, the return of hostages, northern Israel, efforts toward normalization with Arab states, and more.
If his expectations are not met, Gantz says, he will withdraw his centrist party from the premier’s emergency government.
