Israeli PM Netanyahu dismisses defense minister

Israeli sources write that the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to dismiss Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The Jerusalem Post reports that the most likely successor to Gallant as head of the Israeli military department is Israel Katz. He has held the post of head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry since the beginning of this year. Before that, Katz managed to hold the post of Minister of Finance, also the post of head of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy, head of the Israeli Ministry of Transport, Minister of Intelligence, head of the Ministry of Agriculture and once again Minister of Foreign Affairs - in 2019-2020. One can imagine how many memes of this kind of "versatility" would cause if someone in our country held so many posts at the head of a variety of ministries.

Netanyahu's office confirms that Yoav Gallant has been dismissed. Guided by the principles of Israeli ministerial multidisciplinaryism, there are many options for the departments that Gallant could head. The same Ministry of Agriculture or the Ministry of Transport...

Meanwhile, experts in Israel are putting forward versions of why Netanyahu decided to remove Gallant from his post. One version is connected with the scandal over the leak of classified information about Israel's preparations for a strike on Iranian targets. It is assumed that this leak caused the anger of the prime minister and led to Gallant losing his defense minister's portfolio. Another version is the stalled operation of Israeli troops in Lebanon.

They started swapping beds in the brothel))) They think it will help))

He was fired over the issue of the Orthodox Jewish draft: he was fundamentally "for", while Netanyahu and his semi- and fully-Orthodox supporters were fundamentally "against", and over the lack of unity on war strategy. The defector Saar was named Foreign Minister.

It looks like Netanyahu's political maneuvers to isolate Katz (who is too visible in his role as Foreign Minister) and promote Saar.

[TermNachTer]

The squabble, at such a difficult moment for Israel, is the best gift for the Persians.

[Polite Moose]

The most likely replacement for Gallant as head of the Israeli military is Israel Katz.

I wonder what new this Katz can offer?

I hope that a warrant is being prepared for the arrest of Job Gallant from the International Military Tribunal in The Hague for war crimes against the population of Palestine in connection with Israel's actions in Palestine.

Don't get your hopes up, after the dire warning from American senators about the introduction of sanctions against the prosecutor and judges of the ICC, in the event of an attempt to issue such orders against Netanyahu and others like him, this most principled court in the world has abruptly slammed on the brakes.

In order not to interfere in the righteous court. In the version with Israeli citizens like Gallant. With Netanyahu a little later in relation to some "judicial reform". By the way, the Hasidim know about this very well, therefore it is not for nothing that they received a truncheon on the back from the Israeli police in Jerusalem for the protest action to enlist in the Israeli army according to mobilization in connection with some events!

[tralflot1832]

Gallant was fired for "loss of trust."

[Montezuma]

Quote: tralflot1832

Gallant was fired for "loss of trust."

Are you hinting at the removal of former Moscow mayor Luzhkov from his post? Of course, we remember this wording - "In connection with the loss of confidence of the head of state."

[foxes]

Apparently he made some overly ambitious reports for Beni, but the reality of Gaza and Lebanon made adjustments.

[voyaka uh]

On the contrary, Galant was afraid of large and decisive military operations.
Netanyahu initiated them.

[gsev]

Quote: voyaka uh

On the contrary, Galant was afraid of large and decisive military operations.

Three more reasons for Galant's dismissal have been announced.
1. Demanded that universal military service be extended to Orthodox Jews.
2 Supported a ceasefire in Gaza on the condition that Israelis captured on October 7 and later be released
3 demanded a thorough investigation into the reasons for the failure of the intelligence and military leadership that led to the surprise attack on October 7 despite ongoing military operations.

[voyaka uh]

This is secondary.
Galant was against:
1) entrance to Rafah (this is where Hamas leader Sinwar was hiding and killed)
2) the capture of the Philadelphia Corridor (the main channel for supplying weapons to Hamas)
3) Elimination of Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah
4) ground operation in Lebanon.
In southern Lebanon, literally mountains of modern weapons have been captured and underground tunnels and bunkers have been destroyed like the Moscow metro. :))

Galant is a coward.

[gsev]

Quote: voyaka uh

Galant is a coward.

What is the point of conducting an operation in Lebanon when the enemy is trying to deliver weapons from Lebanon through Egypt and the Philadelphia Corridor to the Gaza Strip. There is a chance to hit the carriers during transportation by sea and in Gaza itself. In addition, Galant was removed after the leader of Hamas was killed and the Philadelphia Corridor was taken. The aged Nasrallah, in my opinion, was less dangerous than his young and ambitious successor. Do not forget that military action has cleared Hezbollah of cowards and scoundrels looking for a warm place in this movement. In southern Lebanon, there are counter-fights. The raid on Iran simply provoked an increase in weapons production in Iran by either 2 or 3 times and forced the Iranians to speed up the modernization of weapons systems. I do not question your information, it just makes me think even more about the correctness of the dismissal of the Minister of Defense. The army under Galant's command dominates the enemy, diplomacy has allowed a war on 4 or 5 fronts instead of an anti-Tirristic operation, taking into account strikes on Syria. And what if the Taliban or the Turks also start supplying drones to the Syrian Turkomans for strikes on Israel?

[voyaka uh]

1) Israel - with almost no resistance - destroyed in southern Lebanon all the infrastructure and weapons that Hezbollah had built for 10 years and on which billions of Iranian dollars were spent.
Most of Hezbollah's operational-tactical missiles were destroyed on the ground.
2) Hamas is routed. The last fighting thugs with Kalashnikovs are being cleaned out. All Hamas commanders are killed. All underground infrastructure is blown up.
3) Israel has cleared a 3 km zone in southern Lebanon. Now it is moving on to capture a 15 km zone. It is necessary to capture 2 cities - Hezbollah strongholds. Then - another 10 km to the Litani River. The goal is a demilitarized zone 30 km along the border. There will be no Israeli troops there. And there will be no Hezbollah.

It seems to be just a result of the second Lebanon war that has not yet been achieved. And in the first Lebanon war, Israel even drove all its enemies out of Lebanon within a month.

Quote: voyaka uh

Hamas has been defeated.

Before the intifada, Israeli counterintelligence took control of or destroyed the entire PLO underground from Gaza to Sinai and the West Bank. By the way, the Jordanian army probably killed more PLO fighters than Israel in all wars.

Quote: voyaka uh

And there will be no Hezbollah.

Its place will be taken by ISIS or Al-Nusra if Israel really bleeds Hezbollah dry. The Russian Aerospace Forces without the Afghan IRGC infantry are unlikely to be able to prevent the revival of ISIS.

[voyaka uh]

There is a rule: solve real and relevant problems now.
And who will replace whom, and what bandits with what nicknames will come tomorrow - we'll deal with them tomorrow :)))

[gsev]

Quote: voyaka uh

what bandits with what nicknames will come tomorrow

You force bandits to organize themselves into a state, and one that is geared toward war. Afghans, despite their military skills, believe that people are roughly the same and that the nation whose women give birth to more boys wins the war.

[voyaka uh]

The neighbors have not come to terms with the existence of a Jewish state in the Middle East, in the middle of a mono-Muslim world. This is their psychological problem.
Israel is strong, rich, technologically advanced, and has a rapidly growing Jewish population.
Arabs, Persians, whoever they are, will have to get used to Israel, which is on this land forever.
Their methods, the names of the jihads, the leaders, the weapons are constantly changing. Israel reacts according to the situation.
Example: if a gang appears in your area, it must be eliminated quickly, without thinking about who, when and why will replace it later.
This is a healthy pragmatic approach.

Jordan has long since resigned itself. Egypt in 1973. Israel has good relations with Morocco. With Iran, before the overthrow of the Shah, there were excellent relations. With Turkey, the relations are tolerable.

Quote: voyaka uh

The Jewish population is growing rapidly.

With the formation of the Jewish state, within half a century the Jewish population in the Middle East and North Africa, except Israel, almost disappeared.

Quote: voyaka uh

if a gang appears in your area

Israel's problem or good fortune is that it is not facing one big gang but many small ones that are also at odds with each other. It is stupid to fight all the gangs at once. Hamas should have been dealt with first, there was a high probability that after Hamas the others would have left Israel alone.

[voyaka uh]

"We had to deal with Hamas first"///
---
So they did.
They started dealing with Hezbollah when the main ground forces had already been withdrawn from Gaza.
Complete consistency is difficult to achieve.
We'll finish with Hezbollah - then the Houthis, if they don't quiet down themselves

Interesting movie. Usually defense ministers change prime ministers like gloves. . . Who is the Tsar in Israel? Does anyone know? . . .

1) Apparently, in connection with the dismissal and arrests in the Russian Ministry of Defense and the resignation of Shoigu, you don’t think so...
2) And in the non-filthy, non-vile non-Jewish world, Muslims kill Muslims daily by the hundreds and thousands in Asia and Africa, and the Slavs in Europe. But is that different?
4) Well, show off your logic:
4.1) Beat your own so that strangers will be afraid!
4.2) Well, non-Jewishness... about spiders!
