National Unity chairman Benny Gantz is flying to Washington on Motzei Shabbos for a series of meetings with US officials.
Gantz is scheduled to meet with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan as well as senior members of Congress. Reuters reported that he is also meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to a Ynet report, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is furious as Gantz planned his trip without the prime minister’s approval and contrary to government regulations, which “requires every minister to approve his travel in advance with the prime minister, including approval of the travel plan.”
According to Netanyahu’s associates, “the Prime Minister made it clear to Minister Gantz that the State of Israel has only one prime minister.”
Following his trip to Washington, Gantz will fly to London for a series of “high-level meetings,” his office said.

Sadly it comes to one thing: the government is not a unified government – it is a wartime government. Netanyahu can’t do a thing especially since his popularity isn’t what is should be and because Benny Gantz has nothing to lose. I hope they do discuss it and agree to overlook the snub. The country needs unity.
He should be kicked out of the government and charged with treason. Let him sit in jail with the terrorists he wants to have released.
BIBI has himself to blame, he brought the leftists into his cabinet over the right…
Clearly he has been following their advice, we are about 150 days into the war and very little to show for it. And let’s not forget the troubles from the West Bank and the north.
This is borderline treason. Politics in Israel since Gantz and Lapid has become a very sad joke. They could care less about the country. All that interests them is their own personal political career and cuddling up to the Americans, the latter being fairly dangerous for the State of Israel. America has it’s own interests in mind. All they want is anyone in Israel that will sign off on the Palestinian state Biden is losing sleep over.
