\r\nIn a surprise announcement late Tuesday, the office of the Israeli prime minister said he had replaced Gallant with the foreign minister Israel Katz.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Netanyahu and Gallant have frequently clashed over the campaign of genocide in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Tel Aviv and other cities across the occupied territories as Israel’s opposition members called for a general strike after Netanyahu sacked  Gallant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Protesters blocked a main highway in Tel Aviv and lit large bonfires, chanting slogans against Netanyahu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Opposition leader Yair Lapid called the premier’s decision an act of madness.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

He said Netanyahu is selling out the regime’s security for his "despicable political survival."<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gallant had publically criticized Netanyahu for the breakdown of a Gaza ceasefire agreement, prompting a sharp response from the prime minister's office.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Israeli media had highlighted significant rifts between Netanyahu and key security officials, including Gallant, over the ceasefire, a potential prisoner exchange with Hamas, and the oversight of the Gaza-Egypt border area, known as the Philadelphi Corridor, in addition to the escalating situation along Lebanon’s border.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Netanyahu is accused of blocking the Gaza ceasefire deal to advance his personal agenda.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The statement by Netanyahu’s office quoted him as saying that Gallant's decisions and public statements increasingly contradicted the regime’s collective decisions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Although in the first months of the campaign, there was such trust and very productive work, over the past few months that trust has eroded."<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Netanyahu said this erosion of trust was not only detrimental to their working relationship but also potentially advantageous to Israel's enemies, who could exploit internal disagreements.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

White House says Gallant was ‘important’ partner<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gallant has been an “important partner” to the US on all matters related to Israel’s security, a White House National Security Council spokesperson said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

“As close partners, we will continue to work collaboratively with Israel’s next Minister of Defense,” the spokesperson said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Gallant is a prominent figure within the ruling Likud Party and had significant support among the settlers due to his policies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Netanyahu has a long history of neutralizing his rivals. In his statement, he claimed he had made “many attempts” to bridge the gaps with Gallant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
