Israel’s Netanyahu fires defense minister, saying mutual trust has ‘cracked’ – POLITICO

Gallant will be replaced by Foreign Minister Israel Katz, while Gideon Sa’ar, a minister without a portfolio, will replace Katz as foreign minister, the Prime Minister’s Office announced.

The Biden administration has had a relatively good relationship with Gallant — as opposed to with Netanyahu himself, who has often frustrated the White House with his inconstancy.

“Minister Gallant has been an important partner on all matters related to the defense of Israel,” a U.S. State Department spokesman said. “As close partners, we will continue to work collaboratively with Israel’s next Minister of Defense. We refer you to the Israeli government for more information on its personnel decisions.”
