Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Saturday that he would pull out of Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government in protest against the ceasefire and hostage release deal it has struck with Hamas.

Israel’s government approved the multiphase deal — which will halt the 15-month war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and pave the way for the release of the 98 hostages still being held there — early on Saturday.

As expected, the government starts to collapse the moment there's a real possibility of a ceasefire. Pretty much everyone could've seen this coming the moment the ceasefire deal was announced, maybe even the moment the first government approval ratings were published after the war started, and you can already see Bibi try to backtrack on all of this to desperately cling to power and avoid the prospect of prosecution for his crimes. It would be pathetic if it weren't so destructive, but his thread is finally unraveling after 15 months of clear genocide. One can only hope he and the rest of his cabinet get what they deserve for all they've done, but at this point there's no telling what can happen.
