Following months of escalating tension, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Gallant.

From The Epoch Times. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, on Nov. 5, bringing a longstanding conflict to a head.

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

Netanyahu planned to move Foreign Minister Israel Katz to the defense portfolio and replace him with Gideon Sa’ar, who would be added to the Cabinet. …

“My highest duty as prime minister of Israel is to safeguard Israel’s security and lead us to a decisive victory,” Netanyahu said in a statement.

“During wartime, more than ever, a complete trust between the prime minister and the defense minister is essential. Unfortunately, while we initially had this trust and accomplished much in the early months of the campaign, over recent months, the trust between me and the defense minister has eroded.”

Netanyahu said that “serious differences arose between Gallant and me regarding the campaign’s management, with these disagreements accompanied by statements and actions that contradicted both government and cabinet decisions.

“I made repeated efforts to bridge these gaps, but they only widened. These issues even reached the public in an unacceptable manner, and worse, became known to our enemies, who took pleasure and found advantage in it.” …

Gallant’s firing came a day after he approved the army’s request to draft 7,000 more ultra-Orthodox men.

The issue has been a sticking point with Netanyahu, whose coalition partners support draft exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox. …

I pray that all Israel’s leaders are seeking God’s guidance and follows it. I am not sure about friction between Netanyahu and Gallant. I pray that God guided Netanyahu to fire Gallant and choose Kratz as replacement. God guide all who pray and trust in You.
🙏😇🙏

Heavenly Father, please continue to guide and direct Israel in this most difficult time. Continue to send Your ministering angels to her before every decision made. Thank You that You are loving, faithful and true. Please remind Israel of Your word found in Hosea 2:19-20 “I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion. And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the LORD.” Thank You for the hope, healing and restoration and all that You have and will provide for this people. Grant them peace and may they come to receive Christ as their Messiah in due season. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
