Ministers and MKs from Otzma Yehudit submitted letters of resignation this morning (Sunday) following the government's approval of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, which will lead to the release of hundreds of terrorists from Israeli prisons.
Ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir, Yitzhak Wasserlauf, and Amichai Eliyahu submitted their letters of resignation from their positions to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. MKs Zvika Fogel, Limor Son Har-Melech, and Yitzhak Kreuzer, submitted letters of resignation from their positions on various Knesset committees to the coalition chairman.
The party stated that the resignation is "in light of the approval of the reckless agreement with the terrorist organization Hamas, the release of hundreds of murderers who shed the blood of men, women and children - who are also being released to Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, while renouncing the IDF's achievements in the war, the withdrawal of IDF forces from the Gaza Strip and the cessation of fighting in Gaza, in an agreement that constitutes a surrender to Hamas."

Israel's political echelon has estimated that if Israel returns to fighting in Gaza following the ceasefire-prisoner swap deal, the top IDF brass will be replaced, Israel Hayom reported.
According to the report, the plan is to replace the entire top IDF command in the coming weeks, during the deal.The decision-makers' preferred candidate for the position is Major General Eyal Zamir; however, it is not clear how "offensive" he is capable of being, but a senior political figure told Israel Hayom that it is "clear" to Zamir "why he has come.”
On Saturday night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised that Israel would return to fighting in Gaza if negotiations for the second stage of the ceasefire deal proved ineffective.
Speaking to the public, Netanyahu recounted that when he spoke to US President-elect Donald Trump about the deal, Trump spoke of it as a "temporary ceasefire." He also praised Trump's decision to remove all limits on the provisions of essential weapons and munitions to the State of Israel.
"That is what he said, 'a temporary ceasefire,'" he reiterated. "Ahead of the next stages of the agreement, we retain significant assets in order to return all of our hostages, and in order to meet the objectives of the war.
"If we need to go back to the fighting, we will do so in new ways and with great force," he promised. "And not for nothing, all senior American administration officials have unanimously attested that it was Hamas that hindered the negotiations."

'Clear & immediate danger': Prison guards appeal decision to release terrorist to Shechem
Female prison guards from the Gilboa Prison appeal to Supreme Court, demanding that terrorist Mahmoud Atallah, who raped and sexually assaulted them, be released abroad instead of within Israel.
[…] In their appeal, the prison guards stressed that Atallah's capacity to endanger others was not taken into account, and that he presents an immediate danger to the guards themselves, who were sexually abused by him. They also said that releasing Atallah to Shechem (Nablus), as is planned, also presents a danger to them, since the terrorist has made concrete threats and has their personal information.
