FILE - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz attends a news conference in the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Oct. 28, 2023. The departure of Gantz after eight months spent in Israel's war cabinet does not immediately appear to challenge government but does put pressure on Netanyahu. His resignation will likely embolden and empower Israel's radical ultranationalist cabinet ministers who have fiercely opposed all cease-fire deals. (Abir Sultan/Pool Photo via AP)
