The war cabinet was dissolved following the departure of Benny Gantz, a longtime political rival of Mr Netanyahu who had joined the coalition in the early days of the war.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dissolved the influential war cabinet tasked with steering the war in Gaza.Mr Netanyahu is expected to hold smaller forums with some of his government members for sensitive issues.
Opposition politician Mr Gantz had joined the coalition in the early days of the war and after his departure, it was widely expected Mr Netanyahu would dissolve the cabinet. He left the government earlier this month, citing frustration with Mr Netanyahu's handling of the war. In Israel's fractious parliamentary system, Mr Netanyahu relies on a group of small parties to help keep his government afloat and without the support of Mr Gantz's party, Mr Netanyahu could be more beholden to the far-right allies who have repeatedly pledged to topple the government if their demands are not met.
