Netanyahu: Out of national responsibility, I decided to suspend the legislation in order to reach a broad consensus (Leam)
Against the backdrop of talks to keep Defense Minister Yoav Galant in his post, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Defense Minister will participate in two joint toasts with IDF soldiers this evening (Monday). Netanyahu fired
Galant last Sunday following the statement he made calling for the legal revolution to be halted in which he warned of a clear and immediate danger to security the state, but since then an official letter of dismissal has not been sent to him for over a week and the dismissal has not taken effect.
Shas chairman Aryeh Deri and other senior officials in Likud and the coalition exerted pressure last week on the prime minister to withdraw and keep Gallant in his position in view of the security and political challenges and the internal crisis in the IDF "To.
On the other hand, senior officials in the Prime Minister's office and his family pressured him to be fired in order to send a clear message to those who would try to undermine Netanyahu in the Likud.
The wording of the apology has not yet been finalized.

Netanyahu first demanded that Gallant resign from the Knesset as a condition for his remaining in office, but dropped this demand and now only demands an apology, which Gallant is ready to publish.
However, there are still gaps regarding the wording of the apology;
Netanyahu demands that Gallant apologize categorically for the warning he issued, including for the content and substance, while the Defense Minister is only willing to apologize for the timing and manner.
Officials in Likud estimate that in the coming days a compromise formula will be found that will lead to a meeting between the two at the end of which a joint statement will be issued.
