Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the dissolution of his war cabinet.
The move, which was largely expected following the departure of centrist opposition leader Benny Gantz, is seen as an attempt by the Israeli leader to solidify his position over the decisions in the war in Gaza.
"Regrettably, Mr Netanyahu is preventing us from advancing toward true victory, which is the justification for the ongoing and painful cost . That is why we are leaving the emergency government today, with a heavy heart, but full of confidence." Joe Federman, Bureau chief for the Associated Press in Israel, explains what this transfer of duties could mean for the war in Gaza.
Demonstrators are also calling for the government to be dissolved and for a general election in the country, showing their discontent with its handling of the Gaza war. The protests have intensified in recent days following the departure of National party leader Benny Gantz's and centrist former general Gadi Eisenkot's departure from the war cabinet.
Protester Oren Shvill says the resignation of the Israeli government is a one-way street for his country.
