Ben-Gvir, who is currently also security minister, had already threatened to take this step. He rejects the agreement with Hamas. However, Ben-Gvir had also emphasized that he did not want to topple Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The latter will continue to have a majority in parliament. However, this could change if other parties follow Ben-Gvir's example. The coalition could then try to remain in power as a minority government.
