Israeli War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz arrived in the US on Sunday on a trip that was not approved by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to Israeli media, Netanyahu wasn’t aware of the trip until Gantz informed the prime minister of his plans on Friday in a tense phone call. A source told the Israeli news site Ynet that Netanyahu “made it clear to Minister Gantz that the State of Israel only has one prime minister.”
Gantz, the leader of Israel’s National Unity party, is scheduled to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday. In a speech on Sunday, Harris called for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza but quickly clarified that she meant a six-week truce, which is on the table as part of a potential hostage deal.
White House officials told The New York Times that Gantz and Harris are expected to discuss hostage negotiations and the potential for a temporary ceasefire. Israel boycotted the latest hostage deal talks that were held in Cairo on Sunday.
Gantz is also set to hold talks with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Brett McGurk, President Biden’s top Middle East official on the National Security Council.
Gantz is portrayed as Netanyahu’s moderate opposition, but Gantz supports the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. He recently threatened that Israel will invade the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which is packed with 1.5 million Palestinians, if Hamas doesn’t release Israeli hostages by Ramadan, which begins on March 10.
Any full-scale assault on Rafah would incur huge civilian casualties as most of the Palestinians sheltering there are living in tents on the street. The US has given Israel the green light to kill civilians in the city since it won’t impose any consequences on Israel if it does and will continue to provide unconditional military support.
“Gantz is scheduled to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday” I have a feeling that’s going to be a productive meeting. It’s good he’s attending in person to get the full effect from a word salad he has never ate before.
This is Biden campaign propaganda. Like, “hey we know Joe is old and might keel over, but look at Kamala and those capable hands”.
LOL
I heard or read somewhere that Harris is despised in California. If true it must be our politics and activity as a District Attorney
Nothing the US, West, and Israel do will ever be good enough for you West haters here. Nothing, so what’s new?
“Gantz is portrayed as Netanyahu’s moderate opposition, but Gantz supports the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.” Even the “Moderate Opposition” supports genocide? That’s got to indicate something, right?
Their moderates are like our moderates. They’re right in the middle of being rabid warmongers and being just your run of the mill warmongers.
LOLOL. That’s funny, Wars! But it’s almost as funny as considering Trump a “peace” candidate.
Nothing about Genocide Joe’s crimes means anything good about Trump. That is just what genocide hides behind.
You made me chuckle instead of screaming out loud.
Still scream worthy.
Alastair Crooke: Warning Signs – “Untenable Positions”
Israel’s recent local elections have marked a significant rightward shift, with far-right parties like Ben Gavir’s Israeli Supremacy Party gaining ground. This has reshaped the political landscape, casting traditional peace-oriented parties to the sidelines. The episode explores the influence of Israeli youth, particularly those with military experience, on this political transformation.
The conversation also examines the internal dynamics of Netanyahu’s coalition government and the implications of Benny Gantz’s visit to the US for US-Israeli diplomacy.
As the discussion turns toward Europe, the French and German involvement in Ukraine is scrutinized, highlighting the delicate balance that NATO faces in this quagmire. The concept of ‘tripwires’ as a strategy against Russian aggression is unpacked, illustrating the risks inherent in such a posture. This segues into an analysis of Germany’s military pivot towards the US and the reverberations this has caused in traditional European defense strategies.

Hitler Light speaks with the lightheaded.
Nulland and Sullivan must have been responsible for this.
Lol
“Given the immense scale of suffering in Gaza, there must be an immediate cease-fire, at least for the next six weeks,” Harris said in Selma, Ala
“People in Gaza are starving,”
“The conditions are inhumane, and our common humanity compels us to act,” she said.
So, pretty please?
“For six weeks”.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews are leaving Israel after Netanyahu said he wants to conscript them into the military
Is there an article link from the tweet?
You know as much as I do. If you watch the video, you can draw a conclusion.
I’ve heard or read from a few sources that as many as 500,000 Israelis have left since October 7.
For this class of Jewry to leave, that’s making a definitive statement–if true.
NakedCapitalism.com has articles relating to Israeli citizens fleeing Netanyahu’s Palestinian genocide.
Thanks.
Maybe they are running from the coming missiles of Iran and Hezbolloh
So Gantz thinks he is the crime minister responsible for Israel security…! That’s the sign of internal turmoil which is good news…!
Crooke said he was looking to get more smart bombs.
Big deal. Makes good click bait.
Israel no longer deserves the right to be a state/country. Go straight to hell you bloody ignorant and arrogant assholes! FREE PALESTINE NOW!
