Gideon Sa'ar, leader of the New Hope party, announced his departure from the National Unity alliance with Benny Gantz, citing a lack of voice in key decisions. Sa'ar's move, described as the first significant political maneuver since the onset of the war, involves breaking up the Mahane Mamlachti party and demanding a position in the war cabinet. This decision has led to the dissolution of the political alliance with Gantz, amid disagreements over Gaza military strategy. Sa'ar, along with 2 other MK's, communicated his intention to appeal to the Knesset's house committee chair to reinstate the New Hope faction while staying in PM Netanyahu's coalition. The split has significant implications for the political landscape, tearing apart a bloc leading in polls and potentially affecting the upcoming elections, Netanyahu's position, and the broader political dynamics in Israel.
