Chairman of the National Unity Party Benny Gantz responded to a report that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had considered resigning from his post due to friction within the Likud over the proposed judicial reform.

"If Netanyahu stops the gallop to destroy democracy - his justice minister will resign and the people will unite. If he continues, his defense minister will resign, the relationship with the United States will be broken, and the army will be torn apart," Gantz was quoted as saying.
