JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sacked his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, on Tuesday, saying he had no trust in him over the management of Israel’s ongoing military operations.
Netanyahu appointed Foreign Minister Israel Katz to succeed Gallant as defence minister, while Gideon Saar becomes the new foreign minister, Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.
