ISRAELI FINANCE MINISTER THREATENS TO TOPPLE GOVERNMENT

The Gaza ceasefire agreement has ignited a political crisis within Israel, as far-right ministers, led by Bezalel Smotrich, threaten to overthrow Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. Smotrich criticized the ceasefire as a "surrender to Hamas" and demanded that Israel continue its military operations in Gaza to defeat Hamas. He warned of the government's collapse unless it resumes military actions and establishes control over Gaza. Smotrich's party, along with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's, has withdrawn from the coalition, heightening tensions. Despite the withdrawals, Netanyahu's government retains a narrow majority in the Knesset. The ongoing conflict has caused significant casualties, and international bodies have issued warrants and rulings against Israeli leaders over actions in Gaza. #GazaCeasefire #Netanyahu #BenGvir #Smotrich #IsraeliPolitics #NetanyahuCrisis #FarRightIsrael #PoliticalStorm #SmotrichThreatens #IsraelGovernment #GazaConflict #PoliticalTensions #IsraeliMinisters #HamasCeasefire #IsraelTruce #NetanyahuUnderFire #GazaWar #IsraelCrisis Also Read Three Israeli Hostages Return Home as Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas Holds :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/three-israeli-hostages-arrive-in-israel-ceasefire-update-011-4047103.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases First Three Israeli Hostages As Gaza Ceasefire Takes Effect :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-first-israeli-hostages-as-gaza-ceasefire-takes-effect-4046999.html?ref=DMDesc Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas Scheduled to Commence Sunday Morning Amid Ongoing Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ceasefire-between-israel-and-hamas-to-begin-sunday-morning-011-4046373.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.344~

The terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire include the release of 98 hostages, including 33 Israelis, as part of a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, and Egypt. The release will occur in phases, with 3 American-Israeli hostages also being freed. In return, Israel will release Palestinian detainees, with the number increasing for female detainees. Israel has agreed to allow significant aid into Gaza and will withdraw troops from urban areas. There are also provisions for reopening the Rafah border crossing to Egypt, which will allow displaced Palestinians to return home.
