Lapid calls on Gantz to resign in lead up to evening presser

Opposition leader Yair Lapid calls on War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz to leave the government, in the lead-up to Gantz’s press conference this evening.

“He must announce that he is no longer able to give a hand to the abandonment of hostages, abandonment of the north, and crushing the economy and the middle class,” Lapid writes on X.

“He needs to say he will no longer assist [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu to stay in power and he is leaving the government immediately and calling for elections now,” he adds.
