Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, an opposition leader and former defence minister, announced on Wednesday in a joint statement the formation of "an emergency unity government" and a war cabinet.

The move brings Gantz's centrist party of National Unity to sit together with Netanyahu's ultranationalist-religious coalition government.

Under the agreement, the war cabinet will consist of three members: Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Gantz, who was also a former chief of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Gadi Eizenkot, a lawmaker with the National Unity, and also a former IDF chief, will act as an observer.

Netanyahu agreed not to advance any bills unrelated to the ongoing conflict with Gaza's ruling faction Hamas, a seeming reference to the controversial judicial overhaul plan.
