<p>On a day when global attention focused on the U.S. presidential election, Israeli Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu </strong>announced the dismissal of defense minister <strong>Yoav Gallant</strong>, amid a crisis of trust over differences in managing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/israel-hamas-war">Israel's war efforts in Gaza</a>.</p>
<p>Gallant, who had held the defense minister post since 2022, has been a key figure in Israel&#8217;s response to the ongoing conflicts against Hamas and Iran-backed Hezbollah. </p>
<p>According to Netanyahu&#8217;s remarks, the relationship between the two deteriorated in recent months, fueled by what the prime minister described as significant gaps in their approach to the war effort.</p>

<p>"I tried to bridge these gaps, but they kept getting wider," Netanyahu said in a statement. He argued that the trust issues had become "public domain," a development that he claimed was exploited by Israel's adversaries. </p>
<p>Gallant, for his part, responded to the firing on X, formerly known as Twitter. He expressed unwavering commitment to Israel's safety.</p>
<p>"The security of the State of Israel was and will always remain the mission of my life," he wrote.</p>

<p>In place of Gallant, Netanyahu has appointed <strong>Israel Katz</strong>, a seasoned politician who has held multiple cabinet positions, including minister of foreign affairs, minister of finance, and minister of intelligence.</p>
<p>&#8220;He is known as a bulldozer with a combination of responsibility and firmness, quiet firmness, and all of these are very important for managing the campaign,&#8221; Netanyahu said about Katz.</p>
<p>Additionally, Netanyahu revealed discussions with minister without portfolio Gideon Sa'ar, inviting him to join the coalition as Foreign Minister.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions: Oil, Israeli Stocks Rise</h3>
