Israeli PM Netanyahu sacks defense minister
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sacked his defense minister, Yoav Gallant.
Netanyahu and Gallant had clashed publicly over the course of the more than year-long war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and in the Middle East.
Netanyahu said he fired Gallant due to trust issues and “gaps” between them in the management of the war.
“In the midst of a war, more than ever, full trust is required between the prime minister and defense minister,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “Unfortunately, although in the first months of the campaign there was such trust and there was very fruitful work, during the last months this trust cracked between me and the defense minister.”
Netanyahu has reportedly nominated Israel’s foreign minister, Yisrael Katz as Gallant’s replacement.
However, Gallant in his own statement vowed that the “security of the state of Israel always was, and will always remain my life’s mission.”
Gallant’s firing occurred shortly after Israel carried out an attack against Iran that dismantled key areas of its air defense, and struck military sites.
Biden urged Netanyahu against more provocative attacks on Iranian nuclear sites or oil facilities.

Bobrisky: Nigerian Govt suspends prisons officers
The Federal Government has suspended the officers in charge of the Maximum and Minimum Custodial Centres, Kirikiri, Lagos State.
This is coming amid an audio leak indicating that crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, who was convicted of a crime and sentenced to six months in jail, was given an apartment outside the custodial centre.
This is contained in a statement by the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board, CDCFIB, Ja’afaru Ahmed, on Thursday in Abuja.
DAILY POST reports that the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, had on Wednesday initiated a probe of the allegations.
In the statement, Ahmed said the suspension of the officers is to enable further investigation of the various allegations, assuring that the outcome would be made public when concluded.
“Following the viral video trending on social media on alleged infractions by officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service relating to Mr Idris Okuneye, widely known as Bobrisky, the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has suspended forthwith the following senior officers of the service: Michael Anugwa, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), in-charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kiri-kiri, Lagos State; and Sikiru Adekunle, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), in-charge of Maximum-Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kiri-kiri, Lagos State.
“Also, the Board has suspended ASC II Ogbule Samuel Obinna, serving at the Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Afikpo, Ebonyi State, for allegedly accompanying a convicted inmate out of the Custodial Centre to a location outside the facility.
“In another related development, the Board has equally suspended another Senior Officer of the Service, Iloafonsi Kevin Ikechukwu, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC), in-charge of Medium Security Custodial Centre (MSCC), Kuje, Abuja, for allegedly receiving monies on behalf of an inmate,” he said.
