In a significant development, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has backed down from his ultimatum to leave the coalition government if Israel doesn't resume military action in Gaza. According to multiple Israeli news outlets, Smotrich's decision comes as a relief to the government, which was bracing for potential instability. The move is seen as a crucial step towards maintaining unity within the coalition, with the ceasefire deal remaining a contentious issue. With the situation in Gaza still volatile, the international community is watching closely, seeking a lasting peace solution. Key terms like 'Gaza ceasefire' and 'Middle East politics' are at the forefront of discussions.
