Outgoing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells families of hostages held in Gaza that there is no reason for Israel's military to remain in the Strip. He dismisses claims of security or diplomatic justifications for keeping troops in Gaza, stating that there is nothing left to do and that staying there is driven by a desire rather than necessity. Gallant's comments highlight the differences between him and Prime Minister Netanyahu, who fired him on Tuesday.
