In Israel, three ministers have resigned in protest against the agreement with Hamas.

The Israeli far-right party Otzma Yehudit has exited the coalition in protest against the agreement with Hamas. Three ministers have resigned.

This is reported by The Times of Israel.

The resigning ministers include National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, and Minister for the Negev, Galilee, and National Resilience Itzhak Wasserlauf. With this move, they have withdrawn from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government coalition.

“From this point forward, the Otzma Yehudit party is no longer a member of the coalition,” the party stated.

Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir declared that a ceasefire with Hamas represents a “complete victory for terrorism.” In a letter to Netanyahu, he emphasized that the far-right “does not intend to overthrow the government but will vote on ideological issues according to their worldview.”

“We will not return to the government table without a complete victory over Hamas and the full realization of the war's objectives,” Ben-Gvir added.
