In a statement today, Israel's military cabinet member Benny Gantz called for national elections in September, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is under pressure at home and abroad over the war in Gaza, Reuters reported, citing BTA.< /p>
„We need to agree on a date for elections in September, when it will be almost a year since the start of the war,", Gantz said in a televised briefing.
„Setting such a date will allow us to continue the military effort and at the same time give a signal to the citizens of Israel, so that their trust in us will soon be restored, Gantz said.
