The Israeli politician Benny Gantz, a key member of the country\u2019s war cabinet, quit the government on Sunday over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s handling of the war in Gaza.<\/p>\n

The resignation dealt a blow to the appearance of unity that Mr. Netanyahu was able to marshal at the start of the conflict and exposed the divisions at the top of the Israeli leadership over the future of the war and its aftermath.<\/p>\n

Mr. Gantz, a centrist figure who last month threatened to resign unless Mr. Netanyahu addressed his concerns about how the war would end and what would follow it, said his party was leaving the emergency government \u201cwith a heavy but complete heart.\u201d He said that Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s leadership was \u201cpreventing us from advancing to the real victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move is unlikely to force Mr. Netanyahu from office \u2014 the prime minister\u2019s government will still hold a narrow majority in Israel\u2019s Parliament. Mr. Gantz\u2019s exit comes as frustration mounts over the failure to decisively topple Hamas or to bring home all the hostages held in Gaza after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on southern Israel. Mr. Netanyahu has also faced international criticism as the destruction and civilian casualties have mounted in Gaza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
