JERUSALEM (AP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a leading opposition figure have formed a war-time Cabinet to oversee the fight against Hamas militants in response to a weekend attack.
The new Cabinet is a sign of unity in the country after years of bitter political divisions. The Israeli military is also preparing for a possible ground offensive into Gaza.
In the Gaza Strip, the situation is dire as Israeli bombardment has destroyed neighborhoods and the only power plant has run out of fuel. The area is ruled by Hamas, a militant group that has been launching rockets into Israel.
The war-time Cabinet is made up of members from both Netanyahu’s Likud party and the opposition Blue and White party. Netanyahu said the Cabinet will “make decisions that will be necessary to restore security and quiet to the citizens of Israel.”
