Partner in Israeli govt threatens to quit if permanent cease-fire is reached with Hezbollah
Tel Aviv, Sep 26: A far-right partner in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has threatened to quit the coalition if a permanent cease-fire is reached with Hezbollah.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, head of the Jewish Power party, threatened to suspend cooperation with the coalition if a temporary deal is reached.
“If a temporary cease-fire becomes permanent, we will resign from the government,” he said.
It was the latest sign of displeasure from Netanyahu's hard-line government toward international cease-fire efforts.
If Ben-Gvir leaves the coalition, Netanyahu would lose his parliamentary majority and could see his government come toppling down, though opposition leaders have said they would offer support for a cease-fire deal.
