Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich addressed Benny Gantz's decision to leave the national emergency government, saying that there is nothing Gantz demanded that he didn't get - except a Palestinian state.

Following Benny Gantz's announcement that he and his party were leaving the national emergency government, Shas party leader Aryeh Deri called on him to reconsider for the good of the country.

The Prime Minister made this offer minutes after Benny Gantz announced he and his party were leaving the national emergency government.

After delaying his planned departure due to the hostage rescue operation, Gantz and his State Camp party are leaving, after months of serving in a national emergency government.

State Camp party chairman and war cabinet member Benny Gantz is set to deliver a statement tomorrow night, likely to signal his departure from the government. Prime Minister Netanyahu will speak immediately afterwards.

Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman offered to work together with Gantz and Lapid to bring down the government.

A new poll by Channel 12 and pollster Mano Geva also shows voters oppose the new draft law by 2:1, with even Netanyahu bloc supporters neatly divided.

At the end of an urgent party meeting in the Kiryah in Tel Aviv, the Religious Zionism party announced it would stay as part of the government to "keep watch."

Due to pressure from Smotrich and Ben Gvir, the cabinet discussion of the "day after" in Gaza has been delayed, and may only happen in the expanded cabinet.

After a number of delays, cabinet ministers headed by the Prime Minister will update families on efforts to bring their loved ones home this afternoon.

The ice seems to have broken between the Shas and Yisrael Beiteinu party chairmen, who were seen talking and laughing yesterday. Now Deri does not rule out Liberman joining the government.

The war cabinet invited the captives' families to a meeting, but some were reported unable to enter due to lack of room.

The Yisrael Beiteinu party chairman said "Netanyahu's defeatism brought the start of the war."

Hanegbi made this statement in a press release addressing the war.

The Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman said this in reference to the cabinet's decision to open another water pipeline into Gaza and introduce more trucks bringing in aid.

The Prime Minister apologized for his tweet attacking the intelligence agencies.

Gantz also said in a statement to the press that the "limited (war) cabinet is functioning well."

This step by the Deputy Minister comes after days of criticism over money being spent on non-war related issues.

A new poll reveals 47% of Israelis believe the government has no organized plan for the next stages of the war.
