Netanyahu's call to Benny Gantz: Don't stop
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urges Minister Benny Gantz not to leave the war cabinet, reports AFP.
"I urge Benny Gantz - do not leave the crisis government. Don't give up on unity," Netanyahu writes on X.
Three weeks ago, Gantz presented an action plan in six steps and set an ultimatum - if the plan is not adopted, he will leave the cabinet on June 8.
Despite the fact that the deadline expired on Saturday, he gave no notice. Instead, he canceled a previously planned press conference after the news of the four freed hostages came.
Without Gantz, Netanyahu would lose the important support of the center bloc - which helped him broaden support for the war both at home and abroad - and instead be forced to lean more towards the unpopular extreme right, writes Reuters.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is appealing to coalition partner Benny Gantz not to leave the country's war cabinet.
"Don't leave the crisis government. Don't give up on unity," says Netanyahu on X.
Gantz, the opposition leader and minister in the war cabinet, has threatened to resign if Netanyahu does not approve a post-war plan by June 8. Gantz canceled a planned press conference on Saturday, after four of the hostages were released from Gaza.
First forecast released: Jerk for the far right - green case
Late on Saturday evening, the election analysis site Europe Elects presented for the first time a forecast of how the final distribution in the EU Parliament could be after this weekend's elections.
The forecast shows roughly what was expected: The right-wing groups ID and ECR - in which the Sweden Democrats are included - are progressing compared to today. At the same time, the liberal party group Renew Europe and the Greens are retreating significantly.
However, Europe Elect's forecast indicates that the decline may be somewhat milder than expected. Both Politico's and Euractiv's latest forecasts have pointed to an even bigger drop.
On Sunday, 22 countries vote, and the newly released forecast should only be seen as an early indication of how the EU elections may go. From here, the forecast is continuously updated all the way to the finish line.
A major right turn awaits in the EU elections. Politico states this in its podcast "EU confidential", where data reporter Hanne Cokelaere dives deep into the latest opinion figures.
Even if M and KD's conservative party group EPP becomes the largest, the number of parliamentarians further to the right together can be even more.
- But it is important to remember that there are no real signs that they will merge into a very large supergroup, says Cokelaere.
Euractiv's writer Alexandra Brzozowski does not completely close the door to the formation of such a supergroup, but admits that the negotiations will be difficult.
In his analysis, Brzozowski notes that the parties on the far right have been normalized across the continent. She writes that the established parties have only themselves to blame, as their attempts to imitate the original parties have failed.
"Europe's Monday morning can mean an even bigger election hangover than 2019," she writes.
In an analysis in the German Tagesschau, Christian Feld questions whether the EU project is undemocratic. He comes to the conclusion that the EU has certain "beauty spots". While each parliamentarian from Malta represents 82,000 inhabitants, a German parliamentarian must, for example, speak for 864,000 inhabitants, he writes.
