The Israeli newspaper “Jerusalem Post” reported today that Benny Gantz, the minister in the Israeli War Council, opposes a possible political move brewing to overthrow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to what was reported by the “Arab World News Agency.” The newspaper quoted Gantz as saying, in private interviews, that Netanyahu cannot be replaced in times of war.

The newspaper also quoted sources it described as close to Gantz that the talks aimed at overthrowing Netanyahu “are nothing more than an illusion.”

The results of the latest opinion poll showed that most Israelis are influenced by the war in Gaza to decide their political opinions. In addition to the overwhelming hostility to the Hamas movement and support for the strikes on the Gaza Strip, they demand the overthrow of the far-right government, reject Netanyahu, and prefer Gantz, the son of the military establishment, and consider him the responsible leader. Who should be handed the keys to government after the war.
