The ousted defense minister repeated accusations that Netanyahu has deliberately sabotaged a Gaza ceasefire deal since July
Outgoing Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant on 7 November revealed to captives' families that the Israeli army has “nothing left in Gaza to do” and that their continued deployment stems from “a desire to be there” by the government, according to accounts from families reported by Israel's Channel 12 News.
“I can tell you what there was not, security considerations. Me and the IDF chief said there was no security reason for remaining in the Philadelphi Corridor,” Gallant reportedly said. “There’s nothing left in Gaza to do. The major achievements have been achieved. I fear we are staying there just because there is a desire to be there."
Gallant is also quoted as saying that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him that keeping troops in Gaza “was a diplomatic consideration.” "I’m telling you there was no diplomatic consideration,” Gallant told the captives' families, the report states.
The outgoing defense chief, who was sacked on Tuesday by Netanyahu, reportedly stressed to the families that the premier is the only person “who decides whether to agree to a ceasefire deal for Gaza,” and added that he, along with other security authorities, “were of the opinion that conditions were ripe for a deal already in July.”
Gallant was removed from his post by Netanyahu earlier this week, citing a lack of mutual trust and disagreements on the “management” of the war in Gaza and Lebanon.
