Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz quits over lack of post-war Gaza plan

Israel's war cabinet minister has resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's emergency government.

Benny Gantz said leaving his post was a "complex and painful decision" to make but Mr Netanyahu was "preventing real victory" over Hamas, the militant group Israel has been fighting in Gaza for the past eight months.

Mr Gantz, one of Israel's three war cabinet ministers, said during a televised news conference on Sunday that he was leaving "with a heavy heart but with full confidence".

Mr Gantz called on the PM to set an election date as he was making "total victory impossible", while also saying the government must put the return of the hostages seized by Hamas "above political survival".

'Why bomb us?': At least 40 killed in Israeli airstrike on UN school in Gaza

AN ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE on a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza has killed at 40 people, according to Hamas’ al-Aqsa television broadcaster.

The Israeli military said its fighter jets struck the school run by the United Nations agency providing aid to the Palestinians, UNRW.

UNRWA’s commissioner general Philippe Lazzarini said that Israel had bombed the school “without prior warning” given to the 6,000 displaced Palestinians sheltering there. “Another horrific day in Gaza.”
