The first-stage ceasefire and hostage deal approved by Israel's cabinet on Saturday is a "complete victory for terrorism," Itamar Ben-Gvir said.

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir resigned in protest over Gaza ceasefire deal. Ben-Gvir, a controversial figure, had been a key ally of Netanyahu's far-right coalition.

Israeli so-called “National Security” Minister Itamar Ben Gvir officially resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government on Sunday, along with his three party ministers, following his earlier threats to withdraw if the controversial prisoner exchange deal and ceasefire agreement with Hamas were approved.

Gvir, claimed to have scuppered similar agreements over the past year. But, the prime minister has blamed Hamas for the failures.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called on Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to join forces in opposing the emerging hostage deal.

In his resignation letter to Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir criticized the Gaza ceasefire deal as a surrender to terror that crosses all ideological red lines.

It comes as Israeli strikes have killed dozens in Gaza ahead of the truce which is expected to take effect on Sunday.
