The Prime Minister of Israel and the leader of the opposition party National Unity formed the Government of National Unity and the War Cabinet
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leader of the National Unity opposition party, Benny Gantz, formed a government of national unity. Gantz is a former defense minister and chief of staff of the Israeli army.
Netanyahu and Gantz also formed the War Cabinet.
It was also agreed that the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, would not pass any laws during the state of war, except those concerning the management of the war.
The war cabinet will consist of Netanyahu, Gantz and Defense Minister Yoav Galant, it was stated in the statement of the National Unity.
It is not known what will happen to Netanyahu's existing partners in government, a collection of far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties.
A place in the war cabinet was also left for former prime minister and opposition leader Yair Lapid, who refused to join the unity government because of the presence of extreme right-wing parties.
Immediately after the outbreak of the war, on Saturday, the media reported that the leader of the Israeli opposition, Yair Lapid, called for the formation of an "emergency government" in order to deal with the "difficult and complex operation". Lapid then also said that he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and told him that in this emergency situation he is willing to put aside differences, because the country is under attack.
Today, Wednesday around 17:XNUMX our time, the agencies reported that Tel Aviv and the surrounding towns, cities in the central and southern part of Israel, were under rocket attacks by the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the afternoon.
Israeli security forces and terrorists exchanged heavy fire near the border town of Zikim, killing several Hamas members.
Israel's "Yinet" reports that sirens were heard at Ben Gurion Airport, but there are no reports of air traffic disruptions. The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah fired mortar shells at Israel today. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) attacked southern Lebanon today in retaliation.
