Media: Netanyahu Plans To Fire Heads Of Defense Ministry, IDF, Shin Bet

The issue has already been decided.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to fire Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar.

This has been reported by the Times of Israel.

Citing sources among Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s close associates, Walla news reporter Tal Shalev says the firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant “is not a matter of if, but when.”

Speaking on the Kan public broadcaster’s main evening news program, Shalev reports that Netanyahu wanted to can Gallant when he returned from his visit to the United States, but the planned dismissal was held up by Hezbollah’s deadly attack on Majdal Shams and the killing this week of two Hezbollah military wing chiefs.

She adds that there are sources in Netanyahu’s circle who say that after replacing Gallant, the premier then plans to axe IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar.

According to her, the reported goal of firing them would be to eliminate opposition to his handling of the negotiations for the return of hostages seized by Hamas on October 7 and their charges that he’s risking a deal, instead elevating officials in their place who would be dependent upon him and do his bidding.

The report notes that opposition New Hope leader Gideon Sa’ar’s name continues to be floated as a potential candidate for defense minister. There is talk of a possible general cabinet reshuffle to create the appearance that the prime minister is not just giving Gallant the boot.
