Israeli Prime Minister Reverses Decision on Defense Chief
Netanyahu Announces Change Following Public Outcry
Gallant, a Retired General, Had Been Critical of Netanyahu's Policies
JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that he has reversed his decision to fire Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, a retired general who had been critical of Netanyahu's policies.
Netanyahu's decision came after a public outcry over his initial decision to replace Gallant, who is seen as a popular figure in Israel. Gallant had been a vocal critic of Netanyahu's handling of the recent conflict with Hamas, and he had called for the government to take a more aggressive approach against the terrorist group.
Netanyahu's reversal is a sign that he is facing increasing pressure from within his own party and from the public. The prime minister has been under fire for his handling of the Hamas conflict, and his approval ratings have been declining.
The reversal is also a sign that Netanyahu is seeking to appease Gallant and his supporters. Gallant is a popular figure in Israel, and his firing would have likely caused a backlash against Netanyahu.
