A key far-right member of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, Itamar Ben Gvir, has publicly opposed a Gaza truce deal but stated that he would not topple the ruling coalition. Ben Gvir described the deal as 'truly catastrophic' and criticized it for erasing the achievements of the war. He argued that the deal would result in the loss of more Israeli lives and urged Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to join him in opposing it. Despite their opposition, Netanyahu is expected to have enough support to pass the deal through his cabinet.
