'Take to the streets': Opposition calls for protests across Israel after Gallant's firing | JPost |

Head of The Democrats party, Yair Golan, called for protests, saying, "Take to the streets."

"The security of the State of Israel was and will always remain the mission of my life," Defense Minister Yoav Gallant posted on X/Twitter on Tuesday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired him.

This response is word-for-word what Gallant said when he was previously fired in March 2023.

National Unity head Benny Gantz also responded to the development, saying, "Politics at the expense of national security."
