After the Hamas attack on Israel on July 19 last year, Israel formed a wartime cabinet, but after cabinet member Gantz announced his withdrawal from the wartime cabinet a few days ago, the wartime cabinet has already existed in name only.
So why was the wartime cabinet formed? What are the consequences after the dissolution? How should Israel function?
Why was Israel's wartime cabinet formed?
On October 7, Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa, which was proposed by Netanyahu in response to a sudden escalation of conflict and a rapidly changing battlefield situation.
At the beginning of its establishment, the main members of the wartime cabinet were Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, opposition leader Gantz, and Defense Minister Gallant.
The initial purpose of the wartime cabinet was to demonstrate unity within Israel and to settle internal divisions caused by judicial reform.
However, with Gantz's announcement of his withdrawal from the wartime cabinet, the initial goal of showing internal unity to the outside world was also difficult to achieve, and the split of the wartime cabinet became an inevitable consequence.
What are the consequences of the disbandment?
In my opinion, the dissolution of the wartime cabinet did not have a very great impact on Israel.
In the Rafah direction, although there is information that Israel has implemented a partial ceasefire strategy in Gaza, it has recently been reported that this is a "lie".
On the strategic side, there has been no change in the strategic approach to Hamas, nor in the policy towards Lebanon.
On domestic affairs, Israel's divisions continue to grow, but they have little to do with the wartime cabinet divisions, but they are just that.
It should be noted that Netanyahu has started talking about the use of nuclear weapons in public, and this move does not make much sense.
At the beginning of the war, many countries questioned whether Israel possessed nuclear weapons, and Russia has been using nuclear deterrence without using it, so it is even more useless for Israel to mention nuclear deterrence now.
It is not uncommon for many people to put their own interests ahead of everything else in the face of national calamity.
All Israel needs to deal with is how to function after the dissolution of the wartime cabinet.
After the dissolution of the wartime cabinet, Israel's problems in Gaza will be the responsibility of the Israeli security cabinet, and it is Netanyahu who is in the most trouble.
Gantz called for new elections when he withdrew from the wartime cabinet, and the Israeli people have been wanting new elections, so that Israel's shadow government, according to the grapevine, also wants to change its proxy.
As long as Netanyahu remains in office, the war will not end, and peace will not really come.
Finally, let's end the article with a single sentence.
Selfish people will eventually be abandoned by the world.
