Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says war cabinet minister Benny Gantz, who is currently in Washington, is helping the US to push its agenda of establishing a Palestinian state.
“The US government is looking for places to drive a wedge between Israelis, in order to advance its plans, with the help of Gantz,” the Religious Zionism party chair says during a faction meeting in Jerusalem.
“In this way, Gantz is working to advance their plans to establish a Palestinian state,” he adds.
Gantz’s trip to Washington for talks with senior officials reportedly infuriated Netanyahu, who did not authorize the trip.
He is set to meet with US Vice President Kamala Harris, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and Republican and Democratic members of US Congress.
