National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced on Thursday evening that his far-right Otzma Yehudit party will withdraw from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition if the cabinet approves the hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as it is expected to do over the weekend.
At the same time, Ben Gvir told reporters in Jerusalem that even if the far-right party should quit the coalition, it would be willing to return should the war eventually resume.
Netanyahu’s Likud party blasted the minister’s threat, saying, “Anyone who dissolves the right-wing government will be remembered as an eternal disgrace.”
Netanyahu’s coalition will maintain a Knesset majority even without Ben Gvir’s party, though if fellow far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism also follows through on threats to depart, it would fall to a minority. Opposition parties have promised to support the coalition so long as it is advancing the deal.
In addition to Ben Gvir and Smotrich, Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli (Likud) vowed on Thursday evening to resign from the government if the ceasefire becomes permanent, and Israel withdraws from the border between Gaza and Egypt before the war goals are achieved.
Flanked by members of his party, Ben Gvir told reporters in Jerusalem that the agreement, which includes the release of hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners serving life terms, will enable the rehabilitation of terror groups in Gaza and bring back the threat to residents in border areas.
The “reckless deal” will lead to “the release of hundreds of murderous terrorists,” “effectively erase the achievements of the war” and “seal the fate of the hostages who remain [beyond those freed in the first phase],” leaving Hamas “with a significant ability to rebuild itself,” he insisted.
According to a leaked copy of the agreement, over 1,700 Palestinian prisoners are to be freed in return for 33 Israeli hostages in the first phase of the deal: 700 terrorists, 250-300 of whom are serving life terms; 1,000 Gazans captured since October 8 in fighting in the Strip; and 47 rearrested prisoners from the 2011 Gilad Shalit deal.
“When we see the jubilant cheers of Hamas supporter [Hadash-Ta’al party leader] Ayman Odeh, the dancing in Gaza, the celebrations in the [Palestinian] villages of Judea and Samaria, we understand which side surrendered in this deal,” Ben Gvir said. “Therefore, if this reckless deal is approved and implemented, the Otzma Yehudit party will not be part of the government and will withdraw from it.”
However, he added, “if the war on Hamas is renewed with force to resolve and realize the unachieved war goals, we will offer to return to the government.”
He called on Smotrich’s party and members of Netanyahu’s Likud to take similar steps to prevent the deal’s implementation.

“The existing deal increases Hamas’s appetite and motivation to carry out another October 7 massacre,” Ben Gvir argued, appealing to the prime minister “to come to his senses.”
“If he does not do so, when the government and [security] cabinet decision is made, as stated, Otzma Yehudit under my leadership will not overthrow Netanyahu, and will not act with the left against the government, but it will not be able to be part of a government that approves a deal that constitutes a huge prize for Hamas,” he said.
