Israel\u2019s national security adviser Tzachi Hanegbi says he has been fired by Benjamin Netanyahu, as the Israeli prime minister\u2019s office said Gil Reich would be appointed as acting head of the National Security Council (NSC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrime Minister Netanyahu informed me today of his intention to appoint a new head of the National Security Council,\u201d Hanegbi said in a statement on Tuesday evening. \u201cIn light of this, my term as national security adviser and head of the National Security Council ends today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly afterwards, the prime minister\u2019s office said in a statement that Netanyahu will appoint deputy head of the National Security Council, Gil Reich, as acting head of the council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks Tzachi Hanegbi for his service as head of the National Security Council for the past 3 years, and wishes him great success in his future endeavors and good health,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanegbi\u2019s departure had been widely anticipated amid weeks of speculation in Israel over growing divisions between the two officials over Israel\u2019s war on Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
