Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to sack Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and appoint Gideon Sa’ar, head of the New Hope party, as the new defence chief, Israeli media reported. Israeli public broadcaster KAN quoted sources on Monday as saying that negotiations are under way between Netanyahu’s office and Sa’ar, who opposes a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal with Palestinian resistance group Hamas, to replace Gallant, who has been at odds with Netanyahu’s war strategy in besieged Gaza.
