Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has removed Yoav Gallant as his defense minister, his office announced Tuesday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, the Israeli leader announced Tuesday. Netanyahu cited significant differences between their views on how to proceed in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as a lack of trust between the pair. Netanyahu's office shared a letter, written in Hebrew, that was delivered to Gallant on Tuesday notifying him of his removal.
Netanyahu warned Iran last week that Israel may target Tehran's nuclear program if the country moves forward with another attack on Israel. 'The supreme objective that I have set for the IDF and the security services is to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons,' Netanyahu said while speaking at a course graduation ceremony for soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces . 'Halting the nuclear program has been – and remains – our chief concern.
Reports from last week suggested that Iran could be waiting until after the U.S. presidential election. Fox News' Caitlin McFall contributed to this report.
