Minister Ron Dermer has submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, concluding a term marked by war, diplomacy, and deep national challenges.
In his resignation letter, Dermer reminded Netanyahu of the commitment he made to his family when he first took office. “On the day I was sworn in as a minister in the government, I promised my family that I would serve only two years in the role. I extended my term twice with their blessing. The first time to work with you to remove the existential threat posed by Iran’s military nuclear capabilities, and the second time to end the war in Gaza on terms set by Israel, and to bring our hostages home,” he wrote.
Reflecting on the defining moments of his tenure, Dermer stated, “This government will be remembered both for the October 7 attack and for the management of the two-year war and the seven fronts that followed it.” His words underscored the magnitude of the challenges faced by Israel during his time as Minister for Strategic Affairs.
Dermer concluded his letter on a personal and forward-looking note, expressing uncertainty about his next steps while reaffirming his lifelong mission. “I do not know what the future holds for me, but in all that I do, I will continue to do my part to ensure the future of the Jewish people,” he told the prime minister.
