Netanyahu dissolves Israel's War Cabinet

THE far-right Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dissolved the influential War Cabinet tasked with steering the war in Gaza, officials said today.

The move was widely expected following the departure of former army chief Benny Gantz earlier this month over disagreements on how Mr Netanyahu is prosecuting the war.

Mr Gantz’s absence from the government makes Mr Netanyahu more dependent on his extreme ultranationalist allies to govern and the dissolution of the War Cabinet underlines that shift as the eight-month-long war in Gaza drags on with no sign of a ceasefire.
