On Thursday evening, the Israeli Knesset approved the emergency government formed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to what the Israeli newspaper "Jerusalem Post" reported, the Knesset approved the "War Management Cabinet" by a majority of 66 votes.

The war cabinet includes Netanyahu, Gantz, and current Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and the former army commander from Gantz's party, Gdi Eisenkot, and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer will be observers.

Netanyahu's far-right allies will remain in the government.

Lapid did not join the government, but the statement referred to “reserving” a seat for him in the declared war government, but Lapid announced his refusal to join the cabinet, accusing Netanyahu of an unforgivable failure to prevent Hamas attacks on Israel.

Netanyahu agreed to freeze the controversial judicial reform, which caused division within the state and called for protests described as one of the largest in the Hebrew state.
