ALBAWABA- The extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, expresses strong opposition to the truce deal with Hamas. Ben Gvir contends that Israel has acquiesced to the dictates of Yahya Sinwar and Gaza's leadership, deeming the exchange agreement a perilous move, claiming Gaza has obtained its desired outcomes.

Speaking on Channel 14, Ben Gvir issues a bold ultimatum, declaring that if the war is not reignited, he will resign from the government. 

His threats highlight the internal crisis within the Netanyahu government, stemming from the aftermath of Israeli aggression in Gaza and the truce negotiated through Qatar and Egypt.

The exchange deal, brokered by Qatar and Egypt, involves the release of 150 Palestinian women and children detainees below 19 years, in exchange for 50 Israeli women and children below 19. 

The truce is set to extend for four days, commencing tomorrow morning until 9:30 am, as reported by Egyptian sources.
