Israeli Cabinet Members At Odds Over Proposed Ceasefire Deal

JERUSALEM, UNSPECIFIED - JUNE 3: Israel's Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir attends the 'otzma yehudit' party meeting at the Israeli parliament on June 3, 2024 in Jerusalem. Two right-wing members of Israel's cabinet, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, said yesterday that they would quit their roles if the government agreed to the latest ceasefire deal announced by the US president last week. A US spokesperson has said they fully expect Israel to accept the deal, which entails an initial six-week ceasefire, if Hamas does. Nearly eight months have passed since Hamas's attack on southern Israel that sparked Israel's assault on Gaza.(Photo by Amir Levy/Getty Images)
