JERUSALEM –
Former general Benny Gantz faces a reckoning next week for his rebellion against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has gained ground in the opinion polls nearly nine months after the war in Gaza.
On Thursday, Gantz’s centrist party proposed a bill to dissolve parliament, days after he said he would abandon Netanyahu’s wartime unity government unless the prime minister came up with a clear day-after strategy for Gaza.
But with the latest poll showing a noticeable turn toward Netanyahu, who won broad support in Israel after International Criminal Court prosecutors said they had sought an arrest warrant against the prime minister, the path forward has become more complicated.
