Ben-Gvir feels he is the master or #Netanyahu

Ma'ariv newspaper describes the situation as: There is a new prime minister in “Israel”.

They add that in practice, Benjamin Netanyahu has become the servant of his master, Itamar #BenGvir, and this raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated?

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir appeared in front of the cameras a few days ago while leaving the Prime Minister’s Office, acting Prime Minister, and announced in an unambiguous tone: “I warned the Prime Minister that we will not enter #Rafah, nor will there is an illegal deal.

The Prime Minister heard the words, and promised that "Israel" would enter Rafah, and promised that the war would continue, and promised that there would be no illegal deal.

These words and tone of voice leave no room for doubt in the heart of every listener. There is a new prime minister in the State of #Israel.

This raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated? It has reached the point where even a response from a prime minister, in order to preserve his dignity, is not uttered.

Netanyahu, despite thousands of disagreements, knows what the majority of the people want: the release of detainees, and he also knows what is important and useful to the people.

But he follows Ben Gvir and Bezalel #Smotrich, because that is what is good politically for Netanyahu for obvious reasons.

Israel economic minister #Smotrich threatens to topple #Netanyahu's government if it approves the proposed #hostages deal, according to Channel 12. He knows that Netanyahu will not allow to his government to collapse, so you should not expect much from the current proposal, which #Hamas anyway will probably reject

He also threatens to topple Palestinian Authority if US takes unilateral steps

In a public letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich warns that if The #Hague issues arrest warrants against Israelis, or if a Palestinian state is recognized unilaterally, he will halt all funds to the PA

Bidenistaa be proud: Bezalel #Smotrich advocates for Israel to undermine the Palestinian Authority (PA) and withhold its funding in response to potential moves where if #UN formally recognizes Palestinian statehood or the International Criminal Court ( #ICC) issues arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials regarding war crimes in #Gaza.

In a letter to #Netanyahu, Smotrich said the best way to deal with such international moves would be to cut ties with the PA to “bring about its immediate fall”.

Additionally, Smotrich emphasizes his ministry's intention to withhold funding from the PA, noting Israel's full control over its tax revenues.

A text which explains very well #Netanyahu's politics. He needs the support of his far-right finance minister #Smotrich and his far-right national security minister #BenGvir - to stay in power.https://www.ft.com/content/e468283a-04de-4f33-9f10-5eaf4b1dc657

Israel's Finance Minister, Bezalel #Smotrich, says allowing humanitarian aid into #Gaza goes against the goals of the Israeli war. "I spoke to Netanyahu in this regard and this is going to change soon."

Western leaders will be like, " it is not a #genocide ", " it is a special military operation against Hamas"and of course " Israel has the right to defend itself ".

It's just wonderful that the Israeli assault on Gaza uncovered the disgusting true face of western hypocrites to the general public.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel #Smotrich, during an interview, advocates for the execution of plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from #Gaza: "If we strategically execute our plans, there will be emigration, and we will reside in the Gaza Strip. We won't permit a scenario where 2 million people reside there. If there are 100-200 thousand Arabs in Gaza, the entire discourse about the aftermath will be altered. They wish to depart; they have been residing in the enclave for 75 years and are desperate."

And people still attacking us when we say Israel's goal is to make Gaza uninhabitable and free from Palestinians.

Speaking yesterday in Paris, #Israel's overlord of occupied #Palestinian territory, Minister #Smotrich denied the very existence of a Palestinian people, while speaking from a podium adorned with a map of Israel straddling the West Bank and #Jordan.

This map is based on the crest of the "Irgun" (The National Military Organization in the Land of Israel 1931-1949), a militant group claiming the entirety of historic #Palestine and the Kingdom of #Jordan for a Jewish state.

For an #Israeli Minister to speak off that podium is in itself a diplomatic affront to francediplomat who admitted him and JordanMoFARX, whose territorial integrity and political independence are questioned, in addition to his abhorrent denial of #Palestinian existence.

In a video message on Tuesday, opposition leader Benjamin #Netanyahu pleaded with Itamar #BenGvir and Bezalel #Smotrich, the feuding leaders of the #far-right Otzma Yehudit and Religious #Zionism parties, to put aside their differences and renew the alliance that saw them win six seats in last year’s elections. Warned Netanyahu: “Only running together will ensure that these parties clear the electoral threshold” — and thus make it safely into the Knesset in the November 1 #elections.
Were one of the two Orthodox-nationalist parties to fall short, tens of thousands of Netanyahu-bloc votes would go to waste, and with them, quite possibly, the former prime minister’s prospects of a return to power. “We can’t take the risk,” cautioned the #Likud leader, doubtless recalling the disaster of September 2019, when Ben Gvir’s #OtzmaYehudit, running solo, failed to clear the threshold and threw away 83,609 votes.
