💨 Abstract

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich resigned on Monday in protest against fellow nationalist-religious party leader Itamar Ben Gvir's request for additional ministerial positions. Smotrich's resignation is unlikely to destabilize Netanyahu's coalition, as the government already passed its 2025 budget. The resignation was a result of a disagreement over the distribution of power within the coalition.
