Benny Gantz s dangerous position
January 1, 2021
(JNS) Anyone who cares about Israel’s security and future should be concerned by the initial buds of an attempt to return to the dangerous path of reliance on international forces to protect the country. These poisonous seeds have begun to crop up with a renewed discussion about the evacuation of Jewish towns in the Jordan Valley and Judea and Samaria. The phenomenon is particularly worrisome, given the approach of the next administrations in Washington.
A blatant example of such seeds can be seen in Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s interview on Thursday with the Saudi newspap.

JERUSALEM
Israeli Higher Education Minister Zeev Elkin, known to be a confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, resigned from the Likud party Wednesday.
In a statement, Elkin said he also stepped down from his post and accused Netanyahu of using the party for his own interests.
“I can no longer invite Israeli people to vote for you [Netanyahu] and to trust that you will work for them,” he said.
“Israeli people cannot be held hostage for your personal interests.”
Gideon Sa’ar, who earlier split from the ruling Likud party and formed the New Hope Party, said Elkin will join his party.
