Netanyahu dissolves war cabinet following key partner's departure

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dissolved the influential War Cabinet following the departure of key partner Benny Gantz from the government. The War Cabinet was established to manage military campaigns against Hamas and Hezbollah but has now been disbanded. Netanyahu plans to consult with a smaller group of ministers for critical decisions related to the Gaza war. This move comes after Gantz's exit from the coalition, leaving Netanyahu to make strategic war decisions in smaller meetings. The dissolution of the War Cabinet is seen as a deliberate snub to Netanyahu's far-right allies in the coalition. Netanyahu's decision to disband the War Cabinet is expected to have political ramifications, although decision-making will now shift back to the security cabinet.
