Israeli far-right minister Ben Gvir's party quits ruling coalition
Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's party announced on Sunday it was leaving Israel's ruling coalition in protest at what it called the "scandalous" ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
In a statement, Jewish Power called the ceasefire deal a "capitulation to Hamas" and denounced what it called the "release of hundreds of murderers" and the "renouncing of the (Israeli military's) achievements in the war" in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu retains a slim majority in the Israeli parliament despite their resignation.
