The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahuhas warned that “every member of Hamas is a dead man,” announcing a emergency governmentwith the opposition leader and former Defense Minister Benny Gantz, for the duration of the war.

“We put aside any other consideration for the citizens of Israel,” said the prime minister, on the fifth day of war with the Palestinian militias in Gaza, during a joint message with Gantz and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

In turn, the Minister of Defense has said that they are going “to completely destroy and kill HamasISIS of Gaza. They will vanish from the Earthwill no longer exist, we will not accept that Israeli children and babies are murdered and everything continues as usual”, assuring that the Israeli areas surrounding the Strip have been secured and now its troops “are concentrating on the offensive.”

For his part, Ganzt commented that “the State of Israel is facing one of its most difficult moments”, with its “families who have been murdered and kidnapped by a merciless enemy that must be eliminated.” “The fact that we are here united, side by side, is a very clear message to the enemy, and even more importantly, it is a message to all the citizens of Israel,” he added.

This will be the emergency government

The decision to form an emergency government is intended to confront the war with the Palestinian militias in Gaza. The agreement indicates that Gantz, along with former Justice Minister Gideon Saar; another former chief of the Army Staff, Gadi Eisenkot, and two other deputies will join the Government’s political and security cabinet while the war lasts.

The five are members of the center-right National Unity party, commanded by Gantz. The war management cabinet will be made up of Netanyahu, Gantz and current Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. In addition, a place in the war management cabinet will be reserved for Yair Lapid, who along with Gantz are the two strongest members of the opposition to Netanyahu’s coalition in Parliament.

Negotiations for Lapid’s inclusion have not yet been concluded and local media explain that this is due to disagreements with Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners. Finally, the agreement establishes that, while the war lasts, bills cannot be promoted or government decisions made that are not linked to the conflict with the militias.
