‘Israel’s Emergency Government Near Collapse’
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Concerns remained Friday that Israel’s emergency government formed after the Israel-Hamas war erupted in October may soon fall apart due to its inability to reach a hostage deal with Hamas, Israeli sources suggested.
Government sources said there is “an impasse,” and chances of achieving a deal are low, raising concerns about the plight of some 133 hostages in Gaza.
During a Wednesday war cabinet meeting, Minister Gadi Eisenkot stated that if there was no progress, he would quit the government, Israeli media reported.
The National Unity Party, led by Minister-without-portfolio Benny Gantz, expressed growing worries over the government’s inability to make headway in the ongoing hostage negotiations, Israel’s public broadcaster KAN reported.
KAN reported last month that the coalition is preparing for a situation in which Gantz leaves the government, which could see the return of Gideon Sa’ar to the war cabinet.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to form an emergency government with opposition politicians following the deadliest Palestinian terror attack in Israeli history.
The decision came days after October 7, when Hamas killed some 1,200 people and abducted hundreds in Israel.
Yet, political tensions have remained over how the war is conducted.
