NNA - Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced his resignation from his positions as Finance Minister and Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Defense on Monday evening.

Smotrich stated that he would return to the Knesset as a member, accusing National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of violating agreements between them.

A Sky News Arabia correspondent revealed that "Smotrich's resignation is a temporary protest measure that may take 48 hours, during which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will intervene to resolve the issue."
