Israel's Gantz Threatens to Leave War Cabinet Unless New Plan Adopted

[CincyDem]

4. Unfortunately, while this will be a PR blow to Bibi, Gantz' departure will be insufficient to bring down the government.

Gantz was brought in as part of forming a War Cabinet, not a government. Without Gantz’ party, IIRC Bibi has a 63 seat coalition government in a world where he needs 61. All of Bibi’s coalition is to his right while Gantz is to his left…this implies Gantz would have a hard time convincing anyone to leave the government and, as a result, toppling Bibi’s government.

It’s an effective way to take his position to the public but, from afar, it seems like he’d be more effective in the room where it happens vs. being on the outside reading about policies/actions after the fact. IMHO.
