Minister’s White House visit lays bare growing tensions within Israel’s war cabinet
Benjamin Netanyahu’s allies have lashed out at senior minister Benny Gantz for his visit to the White House, in a sign of growing strains within Israel’s war cabinet and its relations with Washington. Gantz, a former defence minister who joined Netanyahu’s coalition after the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, said he told the prime minister on Friday of his plans to see senior US officials so that the two could “co-ordinate messaging”.
“You entered the emergency government to create a consensus during wartime . . . not to stop the from winning the war,” he wrote on the social media platform X. The ceasefire deal proposes a six-week break in hostilities, and would enable the exchange of vulnerable hostages held by Hamas since October 7 such as women and the elderly, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
