Following a turbulent week in Israeli politics, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant were reportedly close to reaching a compromise that would prevent Galant’s dismissal from his post. Discussions mediated by Knesset member Aryeh Deri took place in an effort to prevent Galant’s ousting, and it was agreed that Galant would apologize to the Prime Minister to remain in his position. However, discussions continued over the wording of the apology, with Netanyahu insisting Galant apologize for calling for a freeze on legislation and avoiding refusals, while Galant was only willing to apologize for the timing of his comments. Galant made the remarks while Netanyahu was on a diplomatic visit to London, warning of a threat to Israeli security and calling for a freeze on legislation for negotiations.
After a stormy week: Netanyahu and Deri are close to a compromise that will prevent the latter’s departure from the Ministry of Defense
In a stormy week in the political system at its peak, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began the process of firing Defense Minister Yoav Galant, the two are close to a compromise that will prevent the latter’s departure from the Defense Ministry.
Over the past few days, discussions have been held with the mediation of Knesset member Aryeh Deri with the aim of preventing Gallant from being fired from the Ministry of Defense. According to the compromise, it was agreed that Gallant would apologize to the Prime Minister who would keep him in his position.
At the end of the week, the talks continued and it seems that the conclusion is closer than ever: Gallant will apparently remain in office, the remaining dispute is over the wording of the apology, the Prime Minister asked to apologize for his words that called for stopping the legislation and avoiding refusals, while Gallant is only willing to apologize for the timing
As I recall, Gallant’s words were said while the Prime Minister was on a diplomatic visit to London, when at a press conference he warned of a danger to the country’s security and called for a freeze on the legislation for negotiations.
