Reports emerge of additional details regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to replace Defense Minister Yoav Gallant by bringing New Hope chair Gideon Sa’ar into the government.
Citing unnamed political sources, Channel 12 reports that talks took place last night on the matter. According to the report, Netanyahu was interested in bringing Sa’ar into the government without using him to replace Gallant.
In addition to Sa’ar’s potential appointment as defense minister, Ze’ev Elkin will be given a ministerial position, the report says.
According to Kan news, other options are also being discussed. Sa’ar may be appointed as foreign minister, while the current top diplomat, Israel Katz, would be appointed as defense minister — indicating that the prime minister is set on firing Gallant.
