Israeli minister Benny Gantz steps down from war cabinet, undermining Netanyahu's position.

Gantz said in a broadcast, "Abdicating power is a complicated and emotionally trying choice."

This action by Gantz, viewed as Netanyahu's principal political rival, satisfies the ultimatum he issued the prime minister last month, demanding he present a fresh approach to the Hamas conflict by June 8th.

Keep an eye on this evolving situation. More developments soon.
