Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke on the phone today (Friday) with Minister Benny Gantz and protested his intention to fly next week to meetings with senior officials in the American administration in Washington.
Gantz's trip to the United States was first published on Ynet.
Sources close to Netanyahu said that Gantz flew without the approval of the prime minister, and contrary to government regulations, which require every minister to approve his trip in advance with the prime minister, including approval of the travel plan.
"The Prime Minister made it clear to Minister Gantz that the State of Israel has only one prime minister," said a source close to Netanyahu.

On Tuesday, Biden said in an interview for a program on the NBC network that the conduct of the current government in Israel could cause Israel to lose the support of the world.
"Israel has previously received support from most of the world's countries, but if it continues its current dealings with the unusually conservative government they have, with Ben Gabir and others, they will lose support from the world. This is not in Israel's interest," Biden said.
"The only way Israel will survive - and I'm not afraid to say this - they have to take advantage of the opportunity to achieve peace and security for the Israelis and the Palestinians. If we achieve the temporary ceasefire we can move in the direction of changing the dynamics. Not to achieve a two-state solution immediately, but a process that will lead us to two states. That he will guarantee the security of Israel and independence for the Palestinians without them being able to threaten Israel. There are ways to do this."
