Tel Aviv [Israel], November 6: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, saying he has lost confidence in him, according to a statement from the prime minister's office on Tuesday.
He is to be replaced by Foreign Minister Israel Katz. "Although there was trust in the first months of the war and the work was very fruitful, this trust between me and the defence minister has unfortunately been broken in recent months," Netanyahu wrote.
He said Gallant had made decisions and issued statements that contradicted the decisions of the cabinet. Gallant issued his own statement. "The security of the State of Israel has always been and will always be my life's work," he said.
