Gantz Warns Netanyahu Against Trying to Sideline Him Again on Talks With US

By Staff, Agencies

Zionist War Minister Benny Gantz warned Friday that he would not allow the ‘Israeli’ entity’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bypass him and the military establishment during talks with the new administration of US President Joe Biden on crafting policy toward Iran.

“I intend to make sure that no one even thinks to interfere with us maintaining ‘Israel’s’ security with all sorts of tricks and bypassing measures that endanger us,” Gantz said in his weekly video address to followers on Facebook, in a thinly veiled message to Netanyahu, who routinely bypassed Gantz in relations with the Trump administration.

Gantz said he had close personal ties with many of the new Biden national security team from his time as military attaché in Washington and as the military’s chief of staff.

“The Biden administration is pro-‘Israel’, and I am convinced that even on important issues such as Iran, we will find a sympathetic ear,” the Zionist war minister said.

Netanyahu is reportedly bent on keeping Gantz out of the loop on the sensitive matter, as he has done with other major diplomatic efforts, such as the normalization agreements with Arab and Muslim states.
