Bethlehem – Together – The American Wall Street Journal said that the Israeli Prime Minister, Army Minister Gallant, and Minister Gantz do not trust each other. According to the report, it was the controversy over the correct way to fight Hamas, the issue of the kidnappers, and the ‘Next Day’ administration that undermined the relationship between the three.

Netanyahu is also reported to be increasingly trying to manage the war himself, while Gallant and Gantz are seen from the sidelines as trying to isolate the prime minister from decisions. Current and former Israeli officials also said that Netanyahu separates Gallant and Gantz regarding key decisions.

He also wrote that in an effort to control food and supplies entering Gaza, the prime minister considered appointing a humanitarian aid official who would report directly to his office and thus bypass the army minister, Israeli officials familiar with the matter said.

Their power struggle may also influence the backlash against Iran, the geopolitical ord
er in the Middle East, and the shaping of relations with the United States for decades to come.
