Instead of celebrating the class, the attack in Afghanistan made Bennett a sub-player in the plot

The prime minister escaped the troubles of the corona in Israel into the arms of the Biden administration in an effort to strengthen his leadership image, but American mourning after the difficult events is expected to cloud the smiling atmosphere at the meeting.

Despite this, the White House will gladly accept Bennett while internalizing the common interest - that Netanyahu will not return

The drama that took place yesterday between Washington and Kabul was at times reminiscent of a scene from "Homeland" or the masterpiece series "The White House": in the midst of an aggravating strategic headache in the Middle East, the Oval Office is preparing to welcome the new Israeli prime minister. As is customary at the first summits of international leaders, the president's and prime minister's advisers planned all the details in advance for weeks, and then, less than two hours into the meeting, there was a sharp turn in the plot - a report of a violent explosion at Kabul airport. The president immediately enters the situation room, and does not leave. The Israeli prime minister is waiting with his entourage in his hotel room. In the minutes and hours it turns out that this is a deadly terrorist attack, which claimed the lives of dozens of people, including American soldiers, for the first time since the withdrawal from Afghanistan began, and that the strategic headache - becomes a fiasco and a national disaster.



From Hollywood to Reality: This was supposed to be the day of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who made a serious build-up ahead of his first visit to the White House, as warranted by the size of the event and the class.

The deadly attack in Afghanistan made him a minor in the plot, leading to a one-day postponement of the meeting and an extension of his stay in Washington until the end of Saturday.

If there are no more dramatic twists in the script, this afternoon he will enter the Oval Office and shake hands with the President of the United States.

It is a status symbol of his few winners and the pinnacle of which he was promoted to the position.

The importance of visiting the White House is actually its existence.

This is the first time in 12 years that a prime minister other than Benjamin Netanyahu will enter the Oval Office, and Bennett's arrival there in his place is intended to finally mark the turnaround. The Biden administration is also happy and expects to launch a new era of "not just Bibi" in Israeli-US relations. The American national mourning is expected to cloud the festive and smiling atmosphere and will also affect the focus within the meeting, but not to hurt the image and message that will come out of the class.



Beyond the lofty political and strategic goals on the agenda, at the political level, the importance of visiting the White House is actually its existence. For the past two and a half months he has been immersed entirely, not to say buried, in Corona. News 12's weekly polls show a erosion in support for him and government policy, and on the table he has left in Israel, more troubles and troubles are accumulating: morbidity reaching alarming numbers, question marks about the start of the school year, testing messes and business owners with growing economic anxieties. In a meeting with Biden, he hopes to get a boost to his status and divert attention from all of these, as well as the storm of conversation with the soldier's father, Barel Hadaria Shmueli. The day before he took off for Washington, he snatched the fiercest wave of rage and criticism since taking office.



Even if there was a policy that stirred the leak and sifted it to huge proportions, and even if assumptions were made about human mistakes, the recording revealed a confused, unfocused, and insensitive prime minister in the holiest place in the Israeli public - IDF soldiers. Bennett was quick to apologize Not to mention one person, the prime minister, who is surrounded by advisers whose job it is to make sure that such mistakes never happen. To underestimate such humane and charged situations and to demand the highest standards from himself and his surroundings.

In Washington, Bennett escaped the plague of Duma from the traditional political issues of prime ministers, hoping it would strengthen his leadership image and political weakness.

He announced that he would present to the president a new strategic plan to combat the Iranian nuclear program, was interviewed for the first time by the New York Times and explained his messages on the Palestinian issue, made a red carpet statement before boarding a plane, visited the Pentagon and met with the Secretary of State.

On the first morning at the hotel, the Prime Minister's Office distributed a picture of him putting on tefillin and praying for the success of his journey, designed to warm the Jewish hearts of his constituents and opponents and to mention that for the first time in history.



If it was an episode in a Hollywood series, a meeting between a Democratic president and a graduate of the Yesha Council who supports annexation would probably have ended in an explosion and tension. The reality of Biden and Bennett will probably look different. Not to repeat eight years of quarrels with the Obama administration, so he served as vice president.This time, even if there are disagreements over weighty issues like Iran, China or the Palestinians, both sides will prefer to produce a quiet dialogue and act on cooperation and transparency. Politicians in Israel know that the government will not withstand a political upheaval, and are likely to try to avoid dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and explosive issues such as settlement construction.
