Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz is currently holding a press conference in Kfar Maccabiah, where he will make his decision regarding the invitation to join Prime Minister Netanyahu for a visit to the White House. In white and blue, Pence's announcement did not look very clear that Gantz's invitation to the White House was at "Netanyahu's request," so they are still in no hurry to confirm the party chairman's arrival.

Gantz and US Vice President Mike Pence met on Thursday as part of the events of the International Holocaust Forum in Jerusalem. Mostly professionals involved in the Centennial program, and also with American political representatives of varying degrees. The Americans understand that there are two people who will have to deal with the Centennial Plan, whether it is to oppose it or whether it is to implement it - Gantz and Netanyahu. "
Israeli House Speaker MK Avigdor Lieberman wrote on his Facebook page on Friday: "I have no doubt that the peace plan proposed by US President Trump this Tuesday will include quite a few positive elements, but justice must also be seen.

"Presenting the plan five weeks before elections, precisely on the day when the debate on the removal of the PM's immunity is set, will prevent a substantive and in-depth discussion of a political initiative from the important ones that we have seen in recent years. Five weeks is not long. If we waited until now nothing would happen and the sky would not fall to him the plan would never have been presented on March 3rd.
"This Tuesday, we must focus only on removing the immunity and applying sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, as the prime minister has promised. However, it is now clear that Netanyahu had no intention in the first place of annexing the Jordan Valley and all talk about it is a public relations exercise."
On the right they responded to Lieberman's call for rejection of the century plan: "As usual, when the stage of deeds Yvette again runs away. Just now, when Israeli law can be applied in Ariel, Ma'aleh Adumim and half a million settlers, Yvette runs away. Yvette plays politics on the back Residents of Judea and Samaria - enough talk, it's time for action. "
