Israel’s war cabinet minister has resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s emergency government.<\/p>\n

Benny Gantz last month gave the leader an 8 June deadline to present a clear day-after plan for the conflict in Gaza<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, he said leaving the government was a “complex and painful” decision.<\/p>\n

His resignation comes a day after four Israeli hostages were rescued<\/a><\/strong> in an operation which the armed wing of Hamas – the militant group running Gaza – said has also killed three other hostages.<\/p>\n

In a post on Telegram earlier on Sunday, the militant group said one of the captives killed was a US citizen.<\/p>\n

The rescue operation involved a devastating raid at the Nuseirat refugee camp, which claimed the lives of 274 Palestinians, Gaza’s health ministry said.<\/p>\n

The departure of Gantz’s centrist party would not pose an immediate threat to Mr Netanyahu’s governing coalition, which
controls 64 of parliament’s 120 seats, but it could have a serious impact nonetheless.<\/p>\n

With Mr Gantz gone, Mr Netanyahu would lose the backing of a centrist bloc that has helped broaden support for the government in Israel and abroad, at a time of increasing diplomatic and domestic pressure eight months into the Gaza war.<\/p>\n

Israel launched a retaliatory military campaign on Gaza on 7 October, when Hamas<\/a><\/strong> killed 1,200 people in southern Israel and took about 250 hostages. More than 36,000 Palestinians have been killed since, according to the enclave’s Hamas-run health ministry.<\/p>\n

The war cabinet minister’s resignation will see Mr Netanyahu having to rely more heavily on the political backing of ultra-nationalist parties, whose leaders angered Washington even before the war and who have since called for a return to a complete Israeli occupation of Gaza.<\/p>\n
