In a press conference this evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will remain in his position.
The news comes nearly two weeks after Netanyahu had announced the firing of the Defense Minister after remarks he made against the judicial reform.
“Even in the last few days, Galant and I have been working together. There were serious disagreements between us, but I decided to put them behind us. Gallant remains in his post, and we will continue to work together for Israel’s security”, Netanyahu said during his press conference at IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv.
During his remarks, Netanyahu also confirmed that the IDF has been acting against Iran in Syria.
“The Assad regime will pay a heavy price if it continues to allow attacks against us,” Netanyahu warned.

His ethics and policies are problematic, but his political skills are awesome. He knows when to retreat and reserve the fight for another day.
sad day when a man of limited nature like Galant remains, I hope his limited journey is one that remains very costly for him and not us
He is skilled, and of a great value for this govt
