ISRAEL: A top Israeli Cabinet minister headed to Washington yesterday for talks with United States officials, sparking a rebuke from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to an Israeli official, in a sign of widening cracks in Israel’s wartime government.
An official from Mr Netanyahu’s Likud party said Benny Gantz’s visit was without authorisation from the Israeli leader.
The official said Mr Netanyahu had a “tough talk” with Mr Gantz about the trip and told him the country has “just one prime minister.”
