Yoav Gallant is a veteran Israeli politician, currently part of the Likud Party.
He has an extensive background in the IDF and was at one point a top candidate to become chief of staff. He served as defense minister from 2022 until he was fired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2024.
Yoav Gallant resigns from the Knesset over opposition to the haredi draft law as Likud advances legislation on military conscription for ultra-Orthodox Israelis.
"The draft legislation has not been submitted for my review," the attorney general's statement read.
"Shortly, I will inform the Speaker of the Knesset of my decision to conclude my tenure as a Member of the Knesset," Gallant said.
From the Iran attack and the Paraguayan embassy move to the waves of protests and the taking down of UNRWA, these are the biggest events and stories in Jerusalem of 2024.
The Adas Israel Congregation said last Monday that "specific security concerns" arose in connection with a scheduled speaking engagement with the ex-defense minister Yoav Gallant.
In the best-case scenario, sources indicated that the ICC Appeals Court could reverse or freeze the arrest orders until ICC sends a new notification to Israel.
Israel can strike Iran in a "forceful and sophisticated manner. If needed, we will not hesitate to act," Gallant was cited as saying.
Gallant attributed the collapse to the IDF's strikes against Hezbollah and Iran, which destroyed their missile systems and killed Nasrallah.
Israel needs an immediate focus on securing its military, diplomatic, and economic stability.
If the ICC wants to prove its moral clarity, it must rescind its arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.
