Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed his National Security Adviser, Tzachi Hanegbi, effective immediately. Hanegbi, a veteran Likud party member, had reportedly opposed Netanyahu's military plans regarding Gaza City. In his statement, Hanegbi acknowledged disagreements with Netanyahu, expressed gratitude for his role, and warned that the conflict which began on October 7, 2023, is not yet over. He also admitted responsibility for the failures of that day and called for unity within Israeli society. Netanyahu has recently lost other senior aides, including his chief of staff and strategic affairs minister, signaling significant changes within his inner circle.
