The formation of an emergency government was agreed upon by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense and Leader of the Opposition Benny Gantz.

Israel forms emergency government and war management cabinet, the prime minister and the leader of the National Unity Party announced together.

The small war cabinet, which will direct the war with Hamas, Gantz demanded, will include only Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galland and Gantz.

A post in the war cabinet was left open for the leader of the opposition Yair Lapid, who refused to join if two far-right parties remain in it.

It was agreed that no legislation would be advanced in the Knesset or government resolutions during the war not related to the management of the war.

Gandhi’s party will have five ministers without portfolio to the government.

Netanyahu and Gantz met today in the shadow of war with Hamas in an attempt to agree on the formation of a government.

A little earlier, the representative of the Israeli army, who spoke on Wednesday at Fox Newsstated that ground operation in Gaza is imminent.
