Israeli ministers threaten to quit over ceasefire plan

Reading Level

Two far-right Israeli ministers, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, have threatened to quit and collapse the governing coalition if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agrees to a Gaza ceasefire proposal unveiled by US President Joe Biden. They are opposed to striking any deal before Hamas is destroyed. Opposition leader Yair Lapid has pledged to back the government if Mr Netanyahu supported the plan. The prime minister himself insisted there would be no permanent truce until Hamas's military and governing capabilities were destroyed and all hostages released. But one of Mr Netanyahu's advisers later described the plan as something 'we agreed to' and emphasized Israel is not rejecting it, even if they do not consider it a 'good deal'. Mr Biden's three-part proposal would begin with a six-week ceasefire in which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would withdraw from populated areas of Gaza. The deal would eventually lead to the release of all hostages, a permanent 'cessation of hostilities' and a major reconstruction plan for Gaza.
