Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has threatened to resign unless Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlines a post-war plan for Gaza by June 8.

Gantz's six strategic goals include ending Hamas rule, returning hostages, and establishing a multinational civilian administration.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant also urged Netanyahu to publicly state that Israel has no plan to take over Gaza's civilian and military rule.

Fighting continues in Gaza with Israeli forces battling in Jabalia and Rafah.

The Hamas-run health ministry reports 35,386 casualties.

Gantz proposes an international administration to manage Gaza, while Netanyahu warns that Gantz's demands could end the war and lead to a defeat for Israel.

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is set to discuss the situation with Netanyahu, emphasizing the need to protect civilians.
