Israeli PM’s chief of staff resigns
JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s chief of staff has resigned. This is the second resignation in Bennett’s inner circle in just two weeks.
A statement by Bennett’s office did not provide a reason for the resignation of Tal Gan-Zvi.
Gan-Zvi was a close aide to Bennett for over 10 years and was considered a right-wing flank in his government, who pushed for its right-wing agenda.
According to The Jerusalem Post newspaper, Gan-Zvi is expected to abandon politics and enter the business world.
Earlier this month, Bennett’s diplomatic adviser Shimrit Meir had also resigned, in a sign of growing problems facing Bennett’s government amid escalation in the occupied Palestinian territories as a result of Bennett’s hardline policies.
