Bennett endorses Egypt??

Peloni: Min. Chikli’s rebuke of former PM Naftali Bennett is well earned. Egypt is daily positioning itself as an antagonist power to Israel, and it was entirely complicit in the preparations for October 7.  It is completely without any rationale that any compentent voice would advocate their inclusion in Gaza or any other sensitive position in the region.  I honestly don’t know what Bennett is contemplating by offshoring Israeli interests to such a proposal as this, but perhaps he will expand on it further so that we might gain a greater sense of insight as to what he has in mind for the future security parameters for the region.

Although Bennett says quite a lot of foolish things, and in any case it is difficult to attach significance to his words, one cannot remain silent about the reckless statement that the Egyptians should be brought into the Gaza Strip.

Egypt enabled a weapons highway to Hamas for years. In recent months, it has been drawing closer to Turkey and conducting joint military exercises with it, so the statement, “We’ll get rid of Turkey and Qatar and bring in Egypt,” reflects complete ignorance of the evolving regional reality. To suggest bringing this axis into Gaza is strategic folly and irresponsibility whose severity is difficult to overstate.

This clown must not be allowed to come near a leadership position again. We have had enough from bringing the Islamic Movement into the heart of Israel’s governing systems.
