Benjamin Netanyahu in a complicated position

An Israeli Minister, quoted under the cover of anonymity by the Times of Israel, *says that Donald Trump’s remarks on the expulsion of the Palestinians and the “Gaza Cleaning”which were welcomed favorably by the Israeli far right, would have been coordinated with Benjamin Netanyahu*.
“All those who heard Donald Trump understand that it was coordinated and transparent”said the minister. “The Prime Minister first spoke of voluntary migration, with ministers from Likoud, and we have even started to make efforts in this direction, but the declarations have aroused global opposition, then we have stopped, even if we know that this is the only solution “.
