Netanyahu says at the meeting of the heads of the coalition that if the legal revolution does not soften, he fears that Defense Minister Yoav Galant will resign from his position.
During the meeting, Netanyahu said that in recent weeks, Gallant had expressed to him his concern about increased manifestations of reluctance in the IDF and protests, if there were no compromises in the reform. A day later, the Likud faction voted in favor of "softening" the reform.

Thursday, March 23: Galant folds and Netanyahu enters the event
Gallant announced a speech, in which he was supposed to call for the legislation to be stopped.
At the same time, Netanyahu also announced his statement, which was not coordinated with that of the Minister of Defense.
During the evening, Netanyahu summoned Gallant to his office.
During the meeting, the Minister of Defense presented to him the impact of the legislative processes on the IDF and the defense system - but at Netanyahu's request, Gallant rejected his statement. That evening, Netanyahu
announces that he "entered the event". He announced that he would "take care of handling the legislation personally", and that He has been prevented from engaging in this until now because "they threatened to remove me as prime minister as a fortress." The reason why he could not intervene in the legislation lies in the conflict of interests that the Ombudsman Gali Baharv Miara determined that he was involved in due to his trial.
"I'm letting you know: that's it. I'm entering the event. I'll do everything I can to reach a solution," Netanyahu claimed.
"Going into the event."

The impeachment - and the reaction of the people
A day after Gallant's speech, Prime Minister Netanyahu removed him from his position as Minister of Defense. According to Likud sources, Netanyahu summoned Gallant to his office and told him that he had lost confidence in him after he acted against the government and against the coalition while he was on a political visit abroad over the weekend, without coordinate with him.
It was also reported by Likud officials that Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Prime Minister Yair Netanyahu's son were the ones who pressured Netanyahu to fire Galant.
Those around the Prime Minister claim that the main reason for the move is "a weak and weak reaction against the refusals in the IDF".
