A week ago, Bennett’s bureau announced that he would pay his first official visit to India and this is the official announcement: “At the invitation of the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi – Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will pay his first official visit to India in early April And India
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will pay his first official visit to India on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at the invitation of the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. In it, Modi invited “Prime Minister Bennett for an official visit to the country.”
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also responded to the visit: “I am pleased to pay my first official visit to India at the invitation of my friend, Prime Minister Modi, to continue to lead together the common path in international relations. Modi is the man who has restarted India-Israel relations. “.
But behind the visit lies a growing rivalry between the prime minister and defense minister, Bnei Gantz who also had to visit India a few days after the prime minister’s planned visit. When he heard about Bennett’s visit, Gantz preceded his visit by 3 days, without coordinating with Bennett’s bureau:
“Defense Minister Bnei Gantz will take off next week (March 29, 2002) at the head of an extended security delegation for a special visit to mark 30 years of security relations between India and Israel.”
Journalist Amit Segal posted on the case in his telegram account: “Pay attention to Gantz’s revenge on Bennett: the Defense Minister’s office surprisingly announces that he is ahead of his visit to India and will arrive three days before the prime minister lands there. The Indians will have to receive both delegations within a week.
Ganz’s hasty visit is inconsistent with the Bennett Chamber and testifies to the deep tension that prevails between the Chambers. Reminder: This week, Gantz revealed that Bennett’s visit will take place a few days before his own. “
