Israel’s far-right national security minister resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Cabinet to express his disapproval of the Gaza ceasefire deal

Gvir, has resigned from the country’s ruling coalition in protest against the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, his Jewish Power party announced on Sunday. In a statement, the party called the ceasefire deal a "capitulation to Hamas" and criticised the "release of hundreds of murderers" and the "renouncing of the [Israeli military’s] achievements in the war" in Gaza.

Ben-Gvir's political rise accelerated when he was elected to the Knesset in 2021. As a prominent figure within right-wing coalitions, he became Israel's Minister of National Security in 2022.
