Prime Minister Netanyahu's entourage is considering removing Defence Minister Yoav Galant from his position already in the coming months. This is what Dafna Lial reported this evening (Wednesday) on News 12.

According to Liel's report, the parties in the prime minister's office are divided about the move, but there is a widespread agreement that Gallant is no longer part of the Netanyahu coalition and they are looking for an opportunity that will lead to his dismissal from the position of defence minister.

It was also announced that in Netanyahu's office, Galant is seen as an obstacle that stands between the completion of the coalition and the solution to the problem of recruiting the ultra-Orthodox, and also accuses him of leaking sensitive discussions. Those around Netanyahu deny and claim that relations with the Minister of Defence are normal.

Earlier, Moshe Saada attacked Minister Galant and called on Netanyahu to put Galant in his place or remove him from his position.
