It seems like Benny Ganz is not counting the prime minister. For the third time in two months, Gantz is doing an exercise for Bennett, on his head.
It started a month and a half ago, when a week before Bennett’s trip to Bahrain, Ganz jumped in to visit there. It should be remembered that this is the first ever visit by an Israeli prime minister to the Muslim Gulf state, and Gantz decided that the most important time for his visit is a few days before Bennett.
It continued even now, ahead of Bennett’s expected trip to India, for a diplomatic visit, Ganz announced that he would visit the country a few days earlier, and again angered the Prime Minister’s Office.
When this happens for the third time, it is no longer a mistake, but seems like a deliberate policy. News reporter 13 Sefi Ovadia published that in the shadow of the summit of the Negev that takes place tomorrow, Ganz planned to participate in the summit in Ramallah this week with Abu Mazen and King Abdullah of Jordan under the headline “Preventing escalation in Jerusalem during Ramadan.”
The Prime Minister’s Office no longer eats the stinking fish and has vetoed Ganz’s visit. The Prime Minister’s Office learned of an attempt by the Defense Minister to organize a meeting with Abu Mazen and the King of Jordan a few days ago, from an Arab source. When the issue is presented to him by the Defense Minister, the Prime Minister will make a decision. “
On behalf of Ganz, a political source said: “Without commenting on the various publications, the Minister of Defense will continue to act responsibly for Israel’s security interests and security stability. The Prime Minister is informed of any significant incident, and this is also true in this case.”
