The Business Forum, consisting of 200 leaders of major businesses in Israel, has warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against replacing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in the midst of a war. The group, which represents a significant portion of the private sector workforce in Israel, urged the Prime Minister to refrain from engaging in political maneuvers during such a critical time.
In a statement, the Business Forum stressed the importance of stability and continuity in leadership during times of conflict. They emphasized the need for unity and focused decision-making to effectively navigate the challenges posed by the ongoing war.
Replacing the Defense Minister mid-war could disrupt the chain of command and undermine the strategic direction of the country’s defense efforts, the Business Forum cautioned. They called for an immediate halt to any plans of replacing Minister Gallant, highlighting the need for a united front in the face of national security threats.
