Ben Gvir: We will resign from the government as soon as the ceasefire begins

"The proposed exchange deal is outrageous and it is clear which party in the government gave in," said powerful Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

He added: "We will resign from the government as soon as the ceasefire begins, and if the war resumes, we will return to it."

He continued: "We will not bring down (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu in the Knesset, and we will not cooperate with the left."
