Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Saturday that he would pull out of Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government in protest against the ceasefire and hostage release deal it has struck with Hamas.

Israel’s government approved the multiphase deal — which will halt the 15-month war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and pave the way for the release of the 98 hostages still being held there — early on Saturday.
