Eyal Pinko, a researcher at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar Ilan University, told Xinhua News Agency that Gantz has long been influenced by the US interests, actively promoting its ambitions over an extended period.

Harel Chorev, historian and Palestinian affairs expert at Tel Aviv University, said that "Netanyahu constantly refuses to deal with the postwar issue, while Gantz wants to force him to talk about it and to provide a decent plan".

He said a divided cabinet might lead to a more right-handed government or policy, being harsher in the Gaza issue.

Yonatan Freeman, international relations expert at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said that the divisions in the cabinet and the possible departure of Gantz would not affect the way the operation is conducted.
