Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced today (Monday) his reversal of the dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, saying that he will remain in his position despite the differences.
Netanyahu said, "Yoav Gallant will remain defense minister, with the increase in security tension in the Palestinian territories." He explained that they had reconciled their disagreement over Galant's public call to stop the judicial amendments plan put forward by the government, which sparked a wide division, which the minister considered had become a threat to Israel's security.
On March 26, Netanyahu dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Gallant from his post due to opposition to his controversial plan to reform the Israeli judicial system.
Israel is experiencing a popular uproar in all directions in light of a charged confrontation between the government and many Israelis because of the judicial reform. Tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv and other cities and tried to block many streets. Anger increased after Netanyahu likened the thousands of people who demonstrated in Tel Aviv to the settlers who gathered. in the Palestinian town of Hawara.
