Benjamin Netanyahu did not approve of War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz's trip to Washington. This was reported by a source close to Netanyahu, quoted by Haaretz. “The Prime Minister made it clear to Gantz last night that he did not approve of his trip to Washington. Any foreign trip by a minister, be it not private but in an official capacity, requires the approval of the Prime Minister,” he said. the source reported.
Gantz, who is leaving tonight, still plans to continue. In Washington he will meet Vice President Kamala Harris and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, his office said. We then move on to London, where further “high-level” meetings are planned.
Gantz, a former chief of staff and former defense minister, was the leader of the opposition to Netanyahu. After the conflict in Gaza broke out, he joined the War Cabinet.
