Who is responsible for the confrontation with the United States? Controversy in Jerusalem:
Sources in the political system blame Defense Minister Bnei Gantz for the public debate with the administration on the issue of declaring the new Palestinian terrorist organizations.
According to one source, "the procedure was conducted in a crooked manner. The Ministry of Defense did not prepare the ground for the administration properly. If they had done so, the conflict would have been avoided, as there are enough materials to back Israel's position.
In the Gantz neighborhood, the ball was returned to the State Department and said the ministry would brief the foreign media on the move, without updating the Department of Defense.
Another political source defended the defense minister and told Israel Today that prior to the publication of the orders, which the Foreign Ministry was one of their initiating bodies, extensive staff work was carried out, and updates and briefings were conducted by the Foreign Ministry around the world, including in the US. "In the political system, there is also an unknown factor that can teach Defense Minister Ganz the importance of relations with the United States, which he has maintained over the past two years, which has led to unprecedented achievements in security cooperation."
As you may recall, over the weekend Gantz declared six organizations affiliated with the Popular Front as terrorist organizations.
U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said Friday that Israel has not updated the administration on intent to change the status of those organizations.
However, officials in Israel claimed that both the US government and European countries that contributed to the six organizations had received early information about the planned announcement.
However, as stated, other elements in the political system place the responsibility for Defense Minister Bnei Gantz on the public debate with the administration.
Those organizations that claim to promote human rights are in fact directly linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - a group declared a terrorist organization in many countries around the world.
The defense establishment has accumulated unequivocal evidence that the six organizations are driving to the popular front.
