On Wednesday this week, Bill Kristol, a former Republican Jew and one of Donald Trump's big rivals, sat in the MSNBC TV studios and said that if blue and white won next month's election, it would play for Democrats and hurt the current president's chances of being re-elected.

To add that: If the Netanyahu government fails to implement Israeli law on Judea and Samaria before the election, not only will it seriously hurt the right's chances of winning on March 2 - it will bury Trump's "peace plan" and politically prejudice it. This is because one can certainly be impressed that there is a correlation between the positions of blue and white and those of Democrats.

On the eve of Benny Gantz's departure to Washington, it was announced that his two strategic advisers - Ronen Tzur and Joel Benenson - had tweeted, each on his own, tweets condemning Trump (among other things, the president was mentioned in Hitler's context and referred to as "Russian agent", "racist" and more) . Those tweets were not published in a blank space but echoed the extreme positions the Democratic Party has been circulating since Trump was elected (when Tire's tweets were made clear that since writing, he has changed his mind about the US president). Benenson is an American who served as Obama's strategic advisor in the 2008 and 2012 elections and Hillary Clinton in 2016. In 2015, Clinton revealed, as revealed in "Israel Today," not to mention Israel in her public appearances and not to condemn Bernie Sanders' anti-Israeli and pro-Iranian stance.

The fact that Gantz’s closest advisers hold positions against Trump that aligns with Democrats is not surprising. Among the key figures behind his entry into politics and also working to establish the White and Blue were those linked to the Democratic Party. For example, in 2016, Gantz received a big boost from public benefit company "Our Way," then headed by Kobi Richter, later one of the founders of Blue and White. "Our Way" is the continuation of "V15" and "One Voice," founded by Jewish-American businessman Daniel Lubecki, who is close to former President Obama.

Right-wing people have trouble approving of Trump's "peace plan" formally, because of what their system looks like to have made mistakes on the planned map. Among other things, on the map, large parts of Highway 60 remained outside Judea and Samaria from north to south outside Israel's sovereign territory. As far as the right bloc is concerned, the map needs to be corrected before it can be approved and indeed, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced this week that a team of professionals is working on the map.

Against this backdrop, Gantz's announcement that he would approve the Trump plan in the Knesset did not work to advance the plan but to hurt and embarrass both Netanyahu and Trump. Without amendments, in a vote on it in the Knesset, right-wing Trump supporters will be forced to vote against his plan. This will hurt the president among Christians, and of course will hurt Netanyahu and the right-wing parties in general.

Given the agreement between Gantz's advisers, and in fact the steps between the Trump plan and the Democratic Party's interests, the US government and the Netanyahu government have a clear common interest in bringing sovereignty over localities themselves for government approval even before the election.

In this way, Netanyahu will maintain settlement in Judea and Samaria against the danger that the blue-and-white government, with Democrats, will act to steal the Trump plan, reviving the Obama program in an election year. Trump will keep his initiative unshelved so he doesn't find himself helping Democrats use Israel as a fool against him in November .
