TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday that he had dissolved his government’s war cabinet — the emergency panel convened to manage the war in Gaza — a week after two of its centrist members resigned in protest.

       Netanyahu is expected to hold “smaller forums for sensitive matters” that will exclude the far-right ministers of his governing coalition, just as the war cabinet did, according to Israeli officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The exclusion of his extremist coalition members from the war cabinet was a way for Netanyahu to gain public support for the war effort.
