TEL AVIV — On Tuesday, Maariv, an Israeli newspaper,
suggests that the government, currently focused on war efforts, is approaching
its end, heading toward a foreseeable downfall. The report highlights
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's awareness of this situation, as well as
Benny Gantz's contemplation of leaving the government in a matter of weeks, possibly
days. This has led Netanyahu to take unconventional steps he might not consider
in different circumstances.

The newspaper notes Netanyahu's praise for Minister of
National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, indicating personal attention.
Netanyahu held two private discussions with Ben Gvir on a dramatic day, emphasizing the
image of an 'overwhelming victory' for the coalition partner critical for the
future of the 64th government. Notably, the budget of the Ministry of National
Security remains untouched, Jo24 reported.
Netanyahu's special attention to
Ben Gvir stems from his
anticipation that Ben Gvir will soon be indispensable, content with his
government position, and not actively seeking reasons to leave for the
opposition or trigger elections.
Maariv suggests that Gantz and his team are seeking a strong
justification, appealing to the public, for their planned exit from the
government. While the state budget confrontation is a valid reason, it is not
sufficient. Instead, the end of the robust phase of the war, coupled with sharp
disagreements over conflict management, stands out as a clearer and more
delicate reason.
The report emphasizes a series of indicators hinting that
Gantz's withdrawal is a matter of time, not a long time. Recent leaks in the
iron walls protecting the Cabinet War Room align with Gantz's statements about
the lack of a vision for the
post-war period. Specifically, he suggests that
the collapse of Hamas takes time, and for now, a deal with Hamas is necessary
to release prisoners, even if it means ending the conflict.
This proposal aligns with protester demands, expected to be
a cornerstone for justifying the withdrawal from the official camp shortly. The
army has officially moved to the third stage in northern Gaza, signaling that
the remaining part of the second stage, maneuvering in
Khan Yunis and Rafah, is
expected to conclude within two to three weeks.
The report does not dismiss the possibility of Gantz's
departure from the government, potentially alongside Gideon Sa'ar and members
of the 'New Hope' party. If the war government dissolves, Netanyahu's
right-wing coalition government may persist, influencing Likud's internal
dynamics and potentially leading to a vote of no confidence.
