Tensions are high in Israel 🇮🇱 as far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir made a bold move on Thursday! 🚨
In a dramatic televised statement 📺, surrounded by his party's six ministers and lawmakers, Ben-Gvir announced that his party will quit the government if the newly announced Gaza ceasefire agreement gets the green light. 😲
He didn't hold back, calling the agreement \"surrendering\" to Hamas. 💥 He wants the military action to keep going until Hamas is completely defeated. No stopping now! 🛑
This puts extra pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 🤔, as another far-right leader, Bezalel Smotrich, is also demanding guarantees that Israel will resume its assault on Gaza after the first phase of the deal is done. 🔄
So what's this deal all about? 🤷♂️ Qatar's Prime Minister announced on Wednesday that Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal after intense mediation by Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S. 🤝 The agreement includes an initial 42-day phase where the fighting in Gaza halts, and 33 hostages held in Gaza will be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. 🕊️
Will the government stick together? Or is this the beginning of a political shake-up in Israel? Stay tuned! 🎬
