The drama that took place last Saturday (Saturday) behind the statement of Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz will not be long forgotten and a list of euphoria prevails.

Gantz came to the Maccabiah village in Ramat Gan to announce that he was giving up his trip to Washington and meeting Gantz in the third. Netanyahu's "Didn't Want to Be a Second Violin" explained elements in white and blue, preferring to focus the discourse on discussions about the immunity that would begin in the third.

But about an hour and a half before Gantz's statement, the plot took a turn. The Americans informed him that he was personally invited by President Trump for a personal meeting in the Oval Room. A meeting that would not include Netanyahu.

An hour to Gantz's statement, in the village of Maccabia, the media is already organizing and Gantz's people, headed by his chief of staff, an Israeli spring, are working to close the meeting Monday - the day before the hearing on immunity.

Half an hour before the statement, it works out. The statement is quirky by Gantz's men, he faces the cameras and foresters - both a personal meeting with Trump and immunity hearings.

In white and blue it was hard to hide happiness last night. "Chess move to Netanyahu," "My son is not a second violin," and "What a burnout brought a spring with the schedule" were just some of the joys of Gantz's associates in the air. Exactly those who fear the election campaign for uttering a unnecessary word broke apart.

The contacts with the Americans over the weekend, and the relationship that Gantz built with senior US officials proved last night, "just at Mani Time," Gantz's men explained, adding, "My son came to announce he was not going, and in the end everything worked out in the 90th minute."

Blue and white add to the "historic" move, as President Trump does not tend to meet with leaders who are not heads of state.
Few in blue and white knew about this fateful hour and a half and kept things secret. Some were surprised and first heard of the personal meeting with Trump, only in his speech.
