Itamar Ben-Gvir says he will return to Cabinet if the war against Hamas resumes ‘with full force’ to achieve its ‘decisive goals’

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir resigned in protest over Gaza ceasefire deal. Ben-Gvir, a controversial figure, had been a key ally of Netanyahu's far-right coalition.

The Israel-Hamas war cease-fire began Sunday after a three-hour delay after the terror group didn’t reveal the names of the first three hostages to be released. Romi Gonen, Emily Damari and Doron Steinbrecher were named as the first 3 people who would be released on Sunday — as officials expect 30 more hostages to be released from Hamas captivity,

The first-stage ceasefire and hostage deal approved by Israel's cabinet on Saturday is a "complete victory for terrorism," Itamar Ben-Gvir said.

Israeli so-called “National Security” Minister Itamar Ben Gvir officially resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on Sunday, along with his three party ministers, following his earlier threats to withdraw if the controversial prisoner exchange deal and ceasefire agreement with Hamas were approved.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called on Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to join forces in opposing the emerging hostage deal.

"In the past year, through our political power, we succeeded in preventing this deal from moving forward, time and time again," he noted.

In his resignation letter to Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir criticized the Gaza ceasefire deal as a surrender to terror that crosses all ideological red lines.

It comes as Israeli strikes have killed dozens in Gaza ahead of the truce which is expected to take effect on Sunday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of backing out of a cease-fire deal to release hostages and end the war in Gaza, which has raged for more than a year.

Ben-Gvir should have quit long ago, protesting the greater affront to Israeli nationalism: ultra-Orthodox draft dodging.
