The Israel Parliament, Knesset, will reconvene on Monday after a
six-week wartime recess.
The opposition Labor Party will move a vote of no-confidence against the
Israeli government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Labor Party in a statement on Sunday night said that the Netanyahu
government had failed miserably in providing security, bringing back the
hostages and returning the displaced people to their homes.
It may be recalled that the Minister without portfolio in Netanyahu's
Cabinet, Benny Gantz had also expressed grave concerns on how the government
was managing the war.
Gantz is a former Chief of the Israel Army whose National Unity Party
had joined the Netanyahu government after the October 7 massacre and mayhem in
southern Israel.
Netanyahu's government will not be affected by the vote of no-confidence
by the opposition Labor Party or the threat of Benny Gantz. The Likud party of
Benjamin Netanyahu has a strength of 64 out of the 120 seats in the Knesset and
is presently safe.
