Opinion | Ganz takes us back to Oslo - and sets up a Palestinian state Israel today

The political and health chaos in which we find ourselves creates a lot of noise and little essence.

Between shouts in the Knesset and confused instructions to Corona, one person sits and leads a practical ideological line, quietly, without statements.

This is Defense Minister Benny Gantz, perhaps the most outraged politician today.

The man who suffered severe political beatings is today in a key position where no one, neither in the coalition nor in the opposition, dares to attack him.

Like a recurring history, Ganz recalls the Oslo 90s.

The caressing meetings, the talk of brave steps, the forced smiles, and next to them what PA officials say in their language, in Arabic. Ganz sees confidence-building steps, they see struggle. Ganz sees peace, they see weakness. Ganz talks about It is he who is responsible for preventing him, "while Abu Mazen's adviser declares that" the relief we have received will help the Palestinian citizen hold on to his land and give him time to continue the fight against the occupation. "History repeats itself twice, as if we learned nothing from the first tragedy.

The confidence-building measures that Gantz has given to the PA for free are made up of three sides: economic empowerment, territorial empowerment and demographic empowerment. On the economic front, loans of hundreds of millions and global persuasion to financially support the PA and the opening of economic agreements in a way that will benefit it, and this without demanding that it stop salaries for murderers. In the local and international arena. On the territorial side, granting massive building permits in Israeli-controlled territories (Areas C), while keeping an eye out for the continued takeover and suffocation rings that the PA is building around the Jewish localities in Judea and Samaria. Palestinians. These are steps that Netanyahu, along with harsh criticism of him for not doing enough, never dared to do.To the same Abu Mazen who is leading a deadly move against us in the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

These political measures are connected, as a forceps movement, to steps on the ground: under Ganz, the Civil Administration became the enemy of the settlers.

Today he concentrates on suffocating Israeli agriculture, on the "cheap" destruction of eighth-grade boys in Gush Etzion and on the incessant evacuation of Chumash.

The administration has never been a settlement-loving body, but under Ganz there are those who see it as an enemy.

The addition of standards that were supposed to fight the Palestinian takeover is also useful today against the settlers.

Gantz cried out in the face of criticism from "politicians who spoke for political motives," but in practice he is the landlord, and has already made it clear that he is not asking Prime Minister Bennett what to do, but "updating ahead of time," and so it seems, both in policy and on the ground.

There are currently no Nobel Prizes or policy peaks in this Oslo.

There is a consistent bite that trains and builds the Palestinian state.

This is Gantz's line, and it happens in the shift of Bennett, Shaked, Elkin and Saar, and in a situation where Netanyahu still hangs hopes on him to return to power.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
