But this year, there have been reports of stand-up rows and shouting matches between the two men over Israel’s war strategy.

Gallant has vastly more military experience than Netanyahu.

He began his career as a navy commando in 1977 and rose to be a major general in Israel’s Southern Command, overseeing two wars in Gaza between 2005 and 2010.

The suspicion is that Gallant’s military superiority and respect from within the armed forces grated with his boss.
