Netanyahu did not inform Ashkenazi, Gantz on Morocco talks — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Ynet news site reports that Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and Defense Minister and Blue and White head Benny Gantz were not informed of talks with Morocco or the agreement to normalize ties from Netanyahu.
The unsourced report says they learned about it from “other sources,” without expanding.
Netanyahu has consistently sought to keep his senior partners out of the loop on diplomatic deals with Arab states.
On Twitter, Ashkenazi praises the deal and thanks US President Donald Trump.
“This is another big day for Israeli diplomacy, a day of light, as befits the holiday of Hanukkah,” he writes.
