Former Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz has recently voiced his support for Israel's operation in Lebanon, urging for its continuation and expansion. Gantz, who is the leader of the National Unity party, had resigned from Israel's emergency war cabinet in June due to disagreements with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the war in Gaza.
During a visit to the northern Israeli town of Karmiel, Gantz emphasized the importance of the ground operation in Lebanon to ensure the safety and return of residents in Northern Israel to their homes.
