Ben-Gvir to leave government if ‘disastrous’ ceasefire deal passes

Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has reiterated that he will leave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government “with a heavy heart” if the Gaza ceasefire deal is passed.“I love Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and will work to ensure he remains Prime Minister, but I will leave because the deal that was signed is disastrous,” Mr Ben-Gvir wrote on X. “It undermines Israel’s defensive capabilities along the Philadelphi Route and other critical points and undoes all the war’s successes, which came at a great cost of blood,” he added.
