Ambush of the Century: Gantz has come into his own with Trump and Netanyahu's minefield

Trump again called for helping Netanyahu at key moments and at the same time as the Knesset immunity debates, inviting him and his rival to a summit in Washington in preparation for the publication of the century deal. More than it is a political plan, it is a political plan that will help Netanyahu split the screen until the election, and make Gantz a statistic

Ambush of the Century: Gantz has come into his own with Trump and Netanyahu's minefield

After the historic leaders march that swept our country this week, next week history will continue with two more unprecedented events that never happened. In Jerusalem, the Knesset plenum will first convene for the first time to discuss the immunity of the incumbent Prime Minister, who is the first ever accused of bribery, fraud and breach of trust; At the same time, in Washington, for the first time, an American president will host the heads of the two largest parties in Israel, presenting to them the most friendly program that has been in all years of trying to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The split screen between the Knesset and the White House will accompany us from Tuesday to the elections; On one side will collect images for the Blue and White Immunity Campaign, and on the other will collect materials for the "Other League" campaign.

Good things come in threes: Trump's White House is once again crying out to help Netanyahu at key moments, even in the third election campaign. After recognizing the Golan Heights on Day 1 and the Day 2 defense alliance,
In recent weeks, Ambassador David Friedman has skipped between the Rahm Chamber and the Oval Room, between talks with Netanyahu and Yariv Levin for consultations Trump has with his emissaries Guard Kushner and Abby Berkowitz, to organize the third-party election.

Like all previous gifts, the mega-friendly program is first and foremost a gift to Trump himself and to the Israeli-avant-garde voters he needs to win a second term this November. All known and illustrated details so far from the plan indicate that Trump and his men have prepared a dream package for the right-wing Israel and America, with recognition of Israeli sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria and without evacuating settlements, and full recognition of Israel's security needs throughout the area.

While Israel will find it very difficult not to embrace the plan with two hands, the Palestinians will reject it without thinking twice, so one can be cautious that peace will not come from it, but the Netanyahu bureau hopes that the Palestinian "no" will give green light to Israel to benefit from the proposed sectors and promote the course of applying sovereignty. We have a Security Council veto with sanctions.

More than it is a political plan, it is a political plan that serves the two leaders: The drama that began tonight (Thursday) with the invitation to summit at the White House will help Netanyahu control the agenda and split the Knesset-to-White screen from Tuesday until the election. The split screen will also help Trump distract public opinion from the impeachment proceeding currently underway in the Senate. The overlap in scheduling the immunity to the impeachment process is another cosmic intersection of the political alliance that has been dubbed "Trumpiahu" given the multiplicity of parallel lines that reinforce the common interests.

When the world leader of the superpower invites you to his house, you can't really refuse, but Gantz seems to be stepping into a well-planned ambush, which was not intended to bring the pigeon of peace but to help Trump and Netanyahu in overlapping interests. Faced with Mr. America, who has built a career in clashes with Democratic administrations, hugs with Republicans, and applause by both parties in congressional speeches, Gantz is at a disadvantage, and the visit to the White House may be very noticeable.

Tonight, in the eyes of the cameras, Netanyahu stumped him and made a narrative that he was the one to take his order in the first place, although in the Gantz area, President Jared Kushner's son-in-law claims that he organized the invitation and that if it was up to him - Netanyahu would never share the oval room With someone else. Still, Netanyahu has hours of drama experience in the Oval Room, while Gantz is a novice, and the political arena - which Netanyahu has unquestionably controlled - is difficult to impossible to compete with, especially if there are someone else's ambassadors who are preparing for the meeting and can put mines in it.

Wink right without success

Gantz is well aware of the strong political alliance between Trump and Netanyahu, and he has stepped into the ambush they have prepared for him. When reports about the White House's preparations for publishing the program began, he actually went public against the timing of the move, saying it would be "blatant interference" in the election, which is an accurate statement, then and now. Only in the middle - he flipped, following messages he received from the US government. Two days ago, on a tour of the Jordan Valley, he suddenly called to present the plan as soon as possible, and maneuvered himself into a position where he had no choice but to accept the summit invitation, where he would be mostly a statistician. From now on, he will find it difficult to argue that this is a political intervention and not a real political move. On the same tour, Gantz raised Netanyahu to land with the Jordan Valley as well, when he declared his intention to apply sovereignty in coordination with the international community.

Reminder: All the rifting affairs were born in securing elections that Netanyahu drew in September to cast votes to the right. Four months later, Gantz tried to make the right wink, but with inaccuracy and success, because a few hours later he had to make it clear that he opposed unilateral annexation and did not join Smutrich's initiatives. Later in the evening, a battle of leaders also developed on Twitter, in which he tweeted to Netanyahu "We will discuss immunity first, then we will govern the application of sovereignty." Well, another derision: If, while the Knesset is voting for a committee to discuss Netanyahu Gantz's immunity, the White House is itself helping Netanyahu do just the opposite.

The White House has already begun to disapprove of deadlines and program details, and in the Trump administration, as we learned, last-minute changes should not be ruled out, but for now, the political turmoil is in full force. Bennett and Smutrich already warn of the establishment of a Palestinian state, Peretz-Meretz warns of annexation and unilateral steps, the Likud announced a curfew and white-blue are looking to unite Handel and send a uniform message. Likud estimates that the plan will nonetheless include certain concessions that may be used by the "right" in an effort to curb the flow of Likud mandates. However, since the plan was designed in the image and image of US ambassador Friedman, the founders of Beit El, who himself could have been a member of the "right", Bennett will find it very difficult to wing Netanyahu on the right, especially from the position of defense minister. He is expected to arrive in Washington soon for a first official visit, and he doubts he will want to enter a clash to bolster the status.

The Centennial Plan will compete with the Blue and White Disgust campaign, weakening the campaign slogan launched only this week "must move forward", because here it is, progressive, and there are unprecedented political achievements that could never be dreamed of. It will not advance us in a millimeter to resolve the conflict, but it may advance Netanyahu in his lifetime. When Gantz assists in decor and Bennett is in love with the 14th floor of Kerry, he will be able to maximize Trump's gift to the end.
