PNN – In response to the threat of Internal Security Minister Itamar Ben Goyer and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s ruling Likud party announced: Anyone who tries to overthrow the right-wing [Netanyahu] government will forever be remembered with shame and disgrace.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, quoting Qatar’s Al Jazeera network, Likud’s statement continued: The agreement with Hamas guarantees the release of the remaining Israeli prisoners in Gaza.
Some media say that the far-right party of Bezalel Smotrich, the Minister of Finance of Israel, considered staying in the cabinet conditional on the resumption of war after the end of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement. The extreme factions of Netanyahu’s cabinet hope to stop this agreement.
Zionist media reported that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet again with the aim of reducing differences over the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
The Zionist Radio and Television Organization, citing sources, announced that there are issues between Netanyahu and Smotrich that have not yet been resolved.
Channel 12 of the Zionist regime reported that this will be their sixth meeting in the past 36 hours.
Smotrich, who opposes the Gaza ceasefire, has asked Benjamin Netanyahu for written guarantees on the resumption of fighting after the first phase of the agreement.
In a statement on Thursday night, Itamar Ben Gower, the hard-line minister of internal security of the Zionist government, announced: This agreement [ceasefire with Gaza] is disgraceful and incomplete, and we in the “Jewish Magnificence” party will submit our resignation.

He further criticized this agreement and added: This agreement is bad and includes the release of hundreds of “destructive and killers”.
The Minister of Internal Security of the Zionist regime also added: This agreement destroys all achievements and destroys the rest of the hostages.
The withdrawal of Smotrich’s and Ben Gower’s parties from the coalition can cause the collapse of Netanyahu’s government, and he needs at least 61 seats in the Israeli parliament to remain in power.
While Ben Guerre alone with six seats lacks the leverage to topple the government, a united front with Smotrich, who holds eight seats, could bring Netanyahu’s coalition to its knees.
Ben Guer said: If this agreement is approved, we will resign from the government.  We are ready to pay a heavy price for the release of our hostages, but the proposed terms exceed what we anticipate.
Looking extremely angry, he said to Smotrich that let’s go to the Prime Minister (Benyamin Netanyahu) and tell him that if he signs this agreement, we will resign from the cabinet.
Mohammad bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar announced the success of efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza and announced that the Palestinian and Israeli sides have agreed to a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
He added: The implementation of the agreement will begin on Sunday, January 19, and according to the agreement, Hamas will release 33 prisoners in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners.
The Zionist regime, with the support of the United States, launched a devastating war against the residents of the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, as a result of which, in addition to massive destruction and deadly famine, more than thousands of Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, were martyred and injured.
Despite all these crimes, the Zionist regime admitted that after more than a year of war against the residents of Gaza, it could not achieve its goals of this war, which is to destroy the Hamas movement and return the Zionist prisoners from the Gaza Strip.
