The Hebrew newspaper Ma'ariv: A development unprecedented since 1876 looms on the horizon inside the Pentagon, as a political showdown approaches over the future of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Against the backdrop of threats to fire him, and ahead of an expected vote in Congress next week, Hegseth refuses to resign from his position, and confirmed his determination to remain in the Pentagon until the end of President Donald Trump's term.
According to Maariv, Hesset informed his associates that he would not give in to pressure, and that if dismissal procedures continued, he would enter into a direct confrontation within the Congress, fiercely defending his controversial policy.
