The Israeli war cabinet was formed on 11 October 2023, five days after the beginning of the Israel–Hamas war.[1] The opposition party National Unity joined the thirty-seventh government led by Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister. Negotiations began upon the outbreak of the war.[2]
On 13 June 2024, former Chiefs of the General Staff Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot exited the war cabinet,[3] leaving Netanyahu, Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant, Ron Dermer and Aryeh Deri as its only members.[4] The cabinet was subsequently dissolved on 17 June.[5]
