Prime Minister Netanyahu's coalition government is beginning to crumble after the resignation of Israel's far-right national security minister.
According to the international news agency, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's Minister of National Security, Ben-Governor, resigned from his position over the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
National Security Minister Ben-Governor opposed the ceasefire agreement at a cabinet meeting and refused to vote in favor of it.
Ben-Gwer had opposed the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails and the withdrawal of troops from Gaza's southern border with Egypt.
Before resigning, he said that the ceasefire agreement was a reckless move that would turn all of Israel's achievements into failures.
The resigned minister used his influence to encourage Netanyahu to advance the war in Gaza.
Recently, Ben-Governor expressed pride in having blocked past ceasefire efforts.
Ben-Gwer also visited and prayed in parts of Al-Aqsa Mosque where Jews are prohibited from entering.
It is increasingly likely that other right-wing ministers will also leave Netanyahu's coalition government.
The resignation of the Minister of National Security does not threaten the Gaza ceasefire agreement, but the government unity has been weakened.
Prime Minister Netanyahu could lose his parliamentary majority, potentially forcing early elections.
It should be remembered that despite 5 elections in 4 years in Israel, no prime minister has been able to secure a majority.
Netanyahu's government is also indebted to his allies, and it seems that the countdown to Netanyahu's being out of power again has begun.
