Netanyahu disbands war cabinet

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the dissolution of the war cabinet, the Prime Minister’s Office tells The Times of Israel.

Reportedly, Netanyahu made this announcement during a security cabinet meeting.

Consultations will continue among a select group of ministers, but the security cabinet will make strategic decisions.

The decision to dissolve the war cabinet comes after Benny Gantz, one of the three cabinet members, and Gadi Eisenkot, one of the three war cabinet observers, bolted the coalition last week.
