Former Chief of Staff Goes into Politics Before Uniforming • When he got involved in one of the most severe canons in the history of the IDF, Mandelblit allegedly enlisted in the rescue mission • Since that incident, Ashkenazi's thwarted target switched to Galant to Netanyahu • One wonders if the alliance from those days continues to help him and his friends

Without going into the legal meanings of such and other quotes, there is concern that Ashkenazi, Mandelblit and even then-Supreme Court Justice Weinstein and Saglovitch became entangled in the conspiracy. , To achieve the desired result - thwarting Galant's candidacy for chief of staff.
In fact, this is the beginning of the road of Ashkenazi, Gantz and Mandelblit - who must undergo not only the thwarting of Galant but also the thwarting of Netanyahu. The same people who co-founded the Ashkenazi Harpaz case in 2010 are the ones who start the political journey together, earlier in 2012 and then in 2016. Gantz and Ashkenazi set up the inward movement after a rift was created between the top of the defense establishment and Prime Minister Netanyahu. In other words, from 2010 we have a security top that does not accept the political leadership. At first it's lightning that is trying to thwart him and later it's Netanyahu.

The Israeli public and the media cut themselves off from this affair as there were no money envelopes, but morally, there are some very hard acts here. There is a sense of cooperation between the various legal entities to extricate Ashkenazi from his entanglement. Weinstein later turns out to be in Ashkenazi's close associate who pushed him into politics. This was revealed in a photo where Weinstein and Amnon Abramovitz and other associates are seen in the 206 restaurant at the Elephant junction near the Zahala neighborhood.

The feeling is that Mendelblit, although moving to other state positions, including the president and secretary of state, has always remained part of the group. He did not function as chief military advocate but as a kind of consular officer to the chief of staff and did not keep his distance on the narrow road in the Harpaz affair. He gave Ashkenazi advice on how to present the document he had burned in the drawer for two months, how to pass it on quietly to a friendly scholar like Seglovich.
In the end, this raises questions as to whether Mandelblit in the Judea and Samaria function can function objectively, when those people he served with, like Ashkenazi and Gantz, set out to oust Prime Minister Netanyahu. The talks create a line from 2010 to the present. Balloon charges against Netanyahu for corruption.
