In a significant political development, ministers from the Jewish Power party, led by Israel's hard-line National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, tendered their resignations from the government on Sunday. This move is in direct opposition to the recently announced Gaza ceasefire deal.

While the departure of Ben-Gvir's party members does not immediately jeopardize Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition or the ongoing ceasefire, it introduces notable instability within the government ranks.

The resignations underline existing fractures within the Israeli political landscape, with potential implications for future governance and policy-making.
