Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to delay the dismissal of Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, announced more than a week ago, given the complicated security situation, public broadcaster Kan reported on Monday.

"Due to the evolving security situation, Netanyahu will attend to the matter of the defence minister down the line," the broadcaster cited a political source as saying.

The Prime Minister's office had no immediate comment.
