Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz, who is regarded as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s main rival in the upcoming April 9 elections, said “Netanyahu has forsaken our security, and now Israelis once again have to live with sirens.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, standing by U.S President Donald Trump’s side in the White House, called the decision a “historic justice” and a “diplomatic victory.”
“The fact that this announcement was made on the holiday of Purim, when we remember the Jews’ salvation in ancient times from an evil plot to annihilate them, added further joy to the day, and it was especially meaningful to hear President Trump address Israel’s need to safeguard its citizenry from those modern-day enemies who wish to destroy it,” said the National Council of Young Israel.
“After 52 years, it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
The two will “will discuss their countries’ shared interests and actions in the Middle East” on March 25, followed by dinner the next day.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said pressure on Iran is working: “We need to increase it, we need to expand it ... the U.S. and Israel are working in close coordination to roll back Iranian aggression.”
The testimony by Miki Ganor, a former Israeli agent for ThyssenKrupp, was fundamental in launching the corruption investigation, which is seen as the biggest in the history of the Israeli defense industry.

“I call on you, Netanyahu, to show responsibility and to resign from you position,” said Blue and White Party head Benny Gantz.
