The Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has threatened to resign if Benjamin Netanyahu fails to adopt an agreed plan for Gaza, calling into question the future of the Israeli government.

During a press conference on Saturday, Gantz announced that if a plan for postwar governance of the territory is not consolidated and approved by 8 June, his opposition National Unity party will withdraw from the coalition government.

. . .

On Thursday, defence minister, Yoav Gallant, challenged Netanyahu over the same issue, saying he would not permit any solution where Israeli military or civil governance were in the territory. Gallant’s comments were immediately backed by his fellow minister Gantz, Netanyahu’s main political rival in the emergency coalition, plunging Israel’s leadership into a highly public row.

    Idiocy.

    He’d do greater-good by remaining in-place & continuing insisting on getting things right, then he would be getting out of abuse’s way, & facilitating its more-complete highjacking of the country.

    Same with all the leftists who vacated-authority-roles “in protest”, handing them to MAGA enforcers.

    Giving authority to the ones you “claim” you oppose, “in protest”, is self-delusion, not means-of-victory.

    Fools, ruled by feelings, instead of by objectivity & reason, giving greater leverage to their claimed enemy.

    No point in pretending that that “strategy” is going to actually-win, is there?

    Just throwing leverage away, for sake of feelings & social-assertion.

    And then, later, whining that they’re not winning…
