It seems like former IDF chief of staff, and member of the war cabinet, General Gadi Eisenkot, has been chosen by the anti-Bibi forces as the battering ram with which to take down Netanyahu—with American assistance.

Mike and Gadi discuss how the left and the right in Israel view Eisenkot’s recent maneuvering in very different terms, and for different reasons. The right views it as pure cynicism, while the adherents of the two-state solution have come to think – or so Gadi believes – that Israel should be prevented from winning this war, so that it becomes sufficiently chastened, and Bibi-free, to allow the Biden administration to impose the solution favored by the left, but which the majority of Israelis have clearly rejected.

Also on this episode: Mike explains how the Biden administration has tricked Israelis and American Jews into thinking the disastrous “regional integration” policy (i.e. the appeasement of Iran) is somehow in Israel’s interest. Here’s a clue: Saudi Arabia.
