Israeli media: 3 ministers considering resignation to pressure Netanyahu

According to the Israeli press, at least 3 Israeli ministers are considering resigning to force Netanyahu to take responsibility for what happened on the Gaza Strip border on October 7.

An unnamed minister said, "The situation we have reached is unbelievable, and he (Netanyahu) must absolutely not be allowed to continue."

The minister stated that Netanyahu insists on not taking responsibility for the October 7 events, but that there are few who believe he can withstand the wave of anger awaiting him.

'NOT HIS CHARACTER'

In the report, which also included the views of figures close to Netanyahu alongside the minister, one person stated the following:

"Why is it necessary for the Prime Minister to announce in the middle of a war that this is his responsibility? There is no need for such a thing at this time. On the contrary, such a declaration could be harmful on a security, strategic, and perhaps general moral level."

A figure close to Netanyahu noted that in the middle of the war, "the Prime Minister has no intention of resigning, and this issue is not on the agenda."

The report also quoted political sources as saying that Netanyahu will not admit his fault because it is not part of his character, stating, "He has not apologized for anything throughout his tenure, and it does not seem very likely that he will apologize now."

A report published yesterday in the Haaretz newspaper also stated that Netanyahu is trying to avoid responsibility for the failure to predict the October 7 attacks and is attempting to shift that responsibility onto the Israeli army.

The Yediot Ahronot newspaper wrote in a report published today that there is a crisis of trust between Netanyahu and the Israeli army regarding current developments in the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Another report in the same newspaper included a poll conducted in Israel, which indicated that 66 percent of participants want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign after the war due to the mistakes made on October 7.
