Biden cursed Netanyahu in closed talks

 

Politico reported on Sunday that US President Joe Biden is deeply suspicious of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and privately has called the prime minister a “bad f***ing guy,” people who have talked to the president said.

According to the report, Biden fears that Netanyahu is eager to drag the US into a wider war in the Middle East, a conflict that would ensure American weapons keep flowing to the region, troops soon follow and international pressure on him to agree to a Gaza ceasefire and his domestic political difficulties both dissipate.

Biden spokesperson Andrew Bates said in response, “The president did not say that, nor would he.”

He added that the two leaders have “a decades-long relationship that is respectful in public and in private.”

The quote attributed to Biden came as part of a report about the support for Biden among liberal voters amid concerns by Democrats their coalition unraveling over Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby last week commented in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 News on the tensions between Netanyahu and Biden over their disagreements about how to handle the day after the war in Gaza.

“Netanyahu and Biden have known each other a long, long time. And they didn't always agree on everything. And I don't think anybody should expect that they're going to agree on everything going forward. But because they have the kind of relationship where they can be frank and honest,” Kirby clarified.

NBC News reported several weeks ago that the Biden administration is laying the groundwork with other Israeli leaders in anticipation of a post-Netanyahu government.

The report said that the Biden administration and Netanyahu’s divisions over Israel’s handling of the war with Hamas, as well as Netanyahu’s refusal to consider US proposals for a post-war Gaza, have only become more pronounced since Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s most recent visit to Israel.

Three senior US officials quoted in the report said that the Biden administration is looking past Netanyahu to try to achieve its goals in the region. The officials told NBC News that Netanyahu “will not be there forever.”

Josh the Kid Interviewer Debunks Another Clueless Pro-Hamas Protester

 


  Josh, the adorable and brilliant 12 year old interviewer from Manchester, has done it again, politely and calmly embarrassing a pro-Hamas protester by quoting the facts.


In this video, the protesters attempted to justify (while claiming she did not justify) the Hamas terror attack by claiming it was a response to the “occupation”. Josh pointed out that Israel gave back Gaza in 2005, and was not occupying the land.


Senior BBC Staff Member Spews Vile Hate Against Jews


 Dawn Queva, a senior scheduler for the BBC, has referred to the “holohoax” and “AshkeNazis,” Deadline reported.


Queva, senior scheduling coordinator and playout planner at BBC Three, also posted a host of other antisemitic messages—often typo-ridden—including saying that Jews have “none zero zilch blood connection to the land of Palestine or Israel historically.”

“To be JewISH is to practice a religion loosely based on the Hebraic faith,” the senior BBC employee said. “To be JewISH has zero to do with ethnicity.”

She also interpreted Noah’s blessing to his sons in Genesis to mean that Ashkenazi Jews aren’t really Jews, but instead “the synagogue of Satan.”

Of the Holocaust, Queva wrote that although 26 million Russians died during World War II, “all we here [sic] about and made [sic] never to forget are the JeWISH 6 million. Never mind the Rothschilds funded their own holohoax.”

She also accused Jews of kidnapping, raping and enslaving Africans “for 30 generations,” committing genocide against Palestinians and controlling the media.

“We don’t comment on individual members of staff and we have well-established and robust processes in place to handle such issues,” a BBC spokeswoman said. “We do not tolerate antisemitism, Islamophobia or any form of abuse, and we take any such allegations seriously and take appropriate disciplinary action wherever necessary.”

Dennis Ross "the evil dummy" is blaming Israel again

 


Speaking via Zoom for the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism & Policy on Jan. 31, Ross offered some expected, perfunctory criticism of Hamas, Iran and Hezbollah. But again and again, he managed to bring in one-sided and unfair criticism of Israel.

Referring to Israel's counter-terrorism actions in Judea and Samaria, Ross said: "West Bank violence [by Arabs] is not disconnected from Israel's policies in the West Bank."

That's just absurd.

 The terrorists are not responding to Israeli policies. They were murdering Jews long before there were any settlements or so-called occupied territories. They oppose Israel's existence, not its borders. It's these terrorists who are the aggressors, and Israelis must respond to them.

Soldier who lost a leg in Gaza confronted a protester against Prime Minister Netanyahu, and chased him out of the hospital while hopping on his remaining leg.


 A well-known left-wing activist protested against Prime Minister Netanyahu while the prime minister visited the rehabilitation wing of Tel Hashomer Hospital.

When he began shouting at Netanyahu, families of the wounded and others present at the time attempted to ask him to leave, saying that it was not the place for a protest.

Noam Ben-Shalosh, a soldier from the 13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade who had lost his leg in combat, told Kan about the incident, which he says constituted a traumatic trigger for some of the soldiers who had been wounded in combat.

“He began to shout, and it didn't impress me to begin with. Many people asked him to leave because this was neither the time or place, among them my mother. He became angry with her and called her stupid. When I heard that, the soldier in me was reawakened. They had to calm me down.”

Footage of the incident shows Ben-Shalosh pursuing the protester while hopping on one leg and shouting at the protester. He recounted in an interview: “You cannot take advantage of the rehabilitation wing, where there is also mental rehabilitation going on, for a protest. There are people who were burned by politics and the senior officials responsible for the security of the state. If you begin to say things connected to that, it triggers them.”

“You cannot shout that the blood of the soldiers who were killed in action is on Netanyahu's hands. You're talking about my blood and that of sixteen of my comrades who were killed that day. It seriously upset me.”

Pollard cautions against deals with Hamas to free hostages that could prove dangerous.


 Former spy Jonatan Pollard arrived at the Or Vishua yeshiva in Haifa and talked with the yeshiva's students and faculty about the importance of Torah students in Israel, the importance of the national project of the hesder yeshivas that prepare their students for military service, and the goals of the IDF in the war against the Hamas terrorist organization.

"The army must undergo a reform and a fundamental change from within. The change must be carried out in two ways: from the top down, and from the bottom up. In other words," explained Pollard, "a change must be made at the top of the military system by replacing the Chief of Staff and changing the face of the entire General Staff so that the spirit Change first at the top of the system and then go and infiltrate down to the last of the soldiers as well. But even more important is the change that needs to come from below, from the junior echelon that is gradually occupying the key positions in the system. This is the right thing to do in order to transform the IDF into an army that fights according to the tradition of Jewish values, for the sake of the Jewish people living in Israel."

"This is where the importance of Torah students comes in because you are the ones who will create the Jewish army, who will fight for the sanctification of God," he said. "Everyone is fighting now, the secular, the traditional, the religious and the ultra-Orthodox side by side in a wonderful way and that is blessed. But we want to make sure that the army is united around the goal of protecting the Jewish state and the Jewish identity of the state."

Pollard also referred to the hostages held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza and said: "I know the captives well and intimately. I know how difficult and complex it is, but right now we need a victory over Hamas and a victory that will bring the kidnapped back home. It is forbidden to agree to deals with Hamas under any circumstances. The main goal of the war is the complete victory over Hamas and its complete destruction. Regarding the abductees, we will do everything so that they return at the same time. That's the only way we can bring them home, all of them." He added: "We have 8 million "kidnapped" if we agree to deals with Hamas. 8 million more Jews who live in the country and the duty is to protect them too at all costs. We do not have the authority to pay too heavy a price."

Canada Stops Assisted Suicides for Mentally Ill Only because doctors not willing to participate


Canada has delayed the extension of its assisted suicide program to people suffering solely from mental illness, health officials announced Monday. 

Canada offers medically assisted death to terminally and chronically ill people, but the plan to extend the program to people with mental illnesses has divided Canadians, the New York Times reported.

Some critics attribute the problem to a lack of adequate psychiatric care in the country.

The controversial policy would allow anyone in Canada with an incurable medical condition to apply for assisted suicide, even if the disease is not terminal, which makes the law one of the most liberal assisted suicide programs in the world. 

Canada introduced medically assisted dying after its Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that requiring people to cope with intolerable suffering infringed on fundamental rights to liberty and security.

The law was expanded in 2021 to include people experiencing “grievous and irremediable” conditions, such as depression and other mental health issues. 

Over 13,000 Canadians were euthanized as part of the program in 2022, the Daily Mail reported

Brooklyn Education Council ‘knowingly excluded’ Jewish parents with Shabbos meeting

 

 A parent council in heavily Jewish Brooklyn held a “special meeting” on a Friday evening in January, knowingly excluding anyone observing Shabbat from the public forum, according to outraged community members who called the move antisemitic. 

The Community Education Council for District 22, which covers Flatbush, Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, and Manhattan Beach, scheduled a follow-up meeting to vote on resolutions after its Jan. 9 meeting went fully remote due to a snowstorm.

Despite calls to the CEC, the city Department of Education, and the Office of Family and Community Engagement, urging them to choose another date, the forum was held on Jan.19 at 6:30 pm, after the Jewish Sabbath was underway.

“Jewish children go to school here, and their families were excluded,” a district parent told The Post. 

The volunteer board voted on seeking alternatives to mayoral control of NYC schools, supporting class size mandates, and opposing a 60-day limit on shelter stays for migrants and other public school families.

It also voted against participating in an art and wellness fair and in favor of rescheduling the upcoming March meeting.

80 NYC educators attend anti-Israel seminar to learn tips for teaching kids about ‘genocide in Gaza’


About 80 New York City and New Jersey educators attended a virtual “curriculum share” seminar Saturday morning where they obtained tips to “get around censorship” while teaching students about the “Israeli occupation” and “ongoing genocide in Gaza.”

The organizers encouraged participants to consider using fake names or blurring their video out of paranoid fear of “conservative Zionist individuals” who have targeted the event and might “dox attendees.”

The event sparked outrage this week among critics who slammed it as antisemitic and divisive.

It aimed “to push anti-Zionism propaganda and wrongfully inject divisive politics” into classrooms, Bronx Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres wrote in a letter ahead of the event imploring the city Department of Education to intervene.

“It is gravely concerning that NYC educators who have little to no background knowledge of Jewish experiences and Israel’s history have taken a crash course in antisemitism and left feeling like they are experts in Middle East studies,” Tova Plaut, a founder of the advocacy group NYCPS Alliance, told The Post.

Harvard Doubles-down on its Jew Hating and will host radical Palestinian speaker who defended Hamas massacres

 

The "Klavtah" 

Harvard University will host a radical Hamas-loving professor who defended the terror group’s Oct 7 massacre in Israel.

“The Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves, the right to live with dignity and freedom. I am shocked that the world is shocked!,” Dalal Saeb Iriqat, a professor at the Arab American University in Ramallah, said in an X post on the day of slaughter.

“Today is just a normal human struggle 4 #Freedom.”

“We will never forgive the Israeli right-wing extreme government for making us take their children and elderly as hostages,” she added a day later of her comrade’s invasion — which included mass rape and the beheading of children.

“The Israeli public needs to realize that their own government had caused all this bloodshed and they remain the ones responsible for this escalating [sic] and losses of civilian's lives.”

Iriqat is scheduled to speak as part of a “Middle East Dialogue” at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center on March 7 — where she is presented as an expert in “diplomacy and conflict resolution.”

The academic militant’s visit comes at an awkward time for Harvard after former president Claudine Gay was forced to resign after being unwilling to publicly state that calls for genocide against Jews would be against the school’s code of conduct. She is also a confirmed plagiarist — something Harvard attempted to cover up for months.

Harvard’s campus has been rocked by instances of antisemitism — so much so that a new antisemitism task force was created to study the issue.

That panel, too, became mired in controversy after past remarks from its chair, Jewish history professor Derek Penslar, became public.

“Israel’s dispossession of Palestinians from their land and oppression of those who remain have made it one of the most disliked countries on the planet,” Penslar wrote in his book “Zionism: An Emotional State,” adding elsewhere that “Jewish culture was steeped in fantasies (and occasionally, acts) of vengeance against Christians.”

A poll after the massacre found that 57% of American Muslims believed Hamas’ Oct 7 terrorist attacks in Israel were “justified.”

Another recent survey found a majority of Americans aged 18-24 believe Israel should “be ended and given to the Hamas.”

Harvard representatives did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.


Queens couple claims JetBlue bounced them from flight because they are Orthodox Jews in $40M lawsuit


 A Queens couple contends their family was unfairly bounced from a New York-bound JetBlue flight because they are Orthodox Jews, according to a $40 million lawsuit against the airline.

Michael Nektalov, 42, wife Miryem Yushanayev, and their five children were returning from an Aruba vacation on Feb. 4, 2021 when they and another Jewish family were kicked off the plane.

The couple were dressed according to “the custom of our religious community,” including a head covering for Miryem and a long beard and yarmulke for Michael, according to the Brooklyn Federal Court papers.

The family also spoke at times in Hebrew.

The “uncomfortable” couple said they knew “somehow trouble would ensue,” after JetBlue employees gave them “disdainful and dirty looks,” they said in court papers.

Just prior to takeoff, the plane taxied back to the gate, the family said in court papers.

When Nektalov’s wife asked one of the flight attendants what was happening, “all she was told was, ‘Oh, your mask slipped off your nose,'” they said in the legal filing, adding, “he then made a note of her seat.”

The mom was then removed from the plane after being falsely accused of not wearing a face mask, the family alleged, while a different Jewish family were also asked to leave.

When the Jewish families asked why they were being booted, a JetBlue employee allegedly “loudly” announced that if “we all did not get off the plane, the entire plane would have to be deplaned.”

“In that moment, I felt as though we were in Nazi Germany, and that we were being isolated, vilified, and herded for disposal,” Nektalov said in the Jan. 26 filing.

A JetBlue spokesman said the company had not yet reviewed the lawsuit.

“We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind at JetBlue. …We take any claims such as these seriously and will work to fully understand the facts of what happened in this event,” said spokesman Derek Dombrowski.

What Are We Waiting For to Finally Take Out the Iranian Nuclear Threat?


 

America has had many opportunities to deal with the Iranian threat, but President Biden continues to act like Neville Chamberlain and to appease the mullahs.


World War 2 officially began on September 1, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Some might contend that it actually began in March of 1938 when Germany annexed Austria. Others would say it began with the Munich Agreement which was an appeasement pact orchestrated by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain allowing Germany to annex the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia in September of 1938. Chamberlain has gone down in history as the “ Great Appeaser”. America did not enter the war until the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. Many lives could have been saved had the United States entered the war earlier.

The killing by the Iran-backed drone of Sgt. William Rivers, Spc.Brenna Moffett, and Spc.Kennedy Sanders and the wounding of 25 other American troops in Jordan should have triggered a “Pearl Harbor” moment. So far it has not. 

Will President Biden finally realize that Iran has to be neutralized? 

Regime change in Iran has not happened. I wish it had. There were opportunities. America is left with one choice. Take out Iran’s nuclear capabilities and watch the regime crumble. There are many benefits to confronting Iran head-on. All of Iran’s proxies will go into hiding. Hamas which unleashed a savage attack against Israel on October 7th will be finished. Hezbollah will be broken and the Houthis will be routed. Rather than acting like Neville Chamberlain if President Biden acted like President Roosevelt and seized the moment the world would be in a better place. 

So I ask the question “What are we waiting for?” 

The time has come to act. America has allowed Iran to not only advance its nuclear program to the point of being weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon but also has permitted Iran to develop Ballistic Missiles capable of reaching 1243 miles with a 3300-pound warhead. Iran can now strike Israel and US targets in the region.

Although Israel can do the job, it has its hands full dealing with the war against Hamas. America rightfully as the leader of the free world should finally bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities. After more than 150 strikes by Iranian proxies against American troops since mid-October 2023, the shutting down of Red Sea shipping by Houthi attacks, and the drone strike against American troops in Jordan, America has total justification to take on Iran directly. We are running out of time. Iran has been allowed to plague the world for far too long.

Major General Shimon Yehoshua Asulin, 24, from Beit Shemesh, was killed on Saturday in a battle in the south of the Gaza Strip.


 The IDF Spokesperson's Unit on Sunday morning cleared for publication that Major General (res.) Shimon Yehoshua Asulin, 24, from Beit Shemesh, was killed on Saturday in a battle in the south of the Gaza Strip.

His family has been notified.

On Saturday, the IDF published footage of troops destroying a tunnel shaft that led to a hideout room for the Hamas terrorist organization and which contained an underground elevator.

The brigade's soldiers located many weapons, night vision and observation devices, intelligence documents belonging to the terrorist organization, and rocket launchers.

The weapons were confiscated and the launchers were destroyed.

Biden Pathetically Let Iran Know Where and When They were Going to bomb to give them time to Evacuate

 

During CNN’s coverage of Friday’s American strikes in the Middle East, CNN Military Analyst and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) argued that the telegraphing of the strikes by the Biden administration was to “avoid excessive casualties among these groups, let them know we’re coming.” And “we didn’t really deter Iran’s hostility to the United States.”

Host Lynda Kinkade asked, “They also know that the U.S. gave warning before carrying out these strikes. Why would the U.S. do that?”

Clark answered,

 “I think this is in keeping with the way the administration has worked this. So, yes…85 aim points, but maybe we can avoid excessive casualties among these groups, let them know we’re coming. If they evacuate, they’re not going to get all of the heavy equipment out. And we saw earlier the video of the ammunition dump that was hit with rockets flying everywhere. So, they can’t quickly do that, but you can move out people and families that have been there and you might be able to reduce the losses on the other side, and, at the same time, send a strong warning. And I think that was the intent of the administration.”

Later, he added,

 “[T]he Iranians are going to come back and do something. My guess is, it will take a few days, several weeks before they can reconstitute these forces. And then, depending on what happens in Gaza, they’ll be back. So, we didn’t really deter Iran’s hostility to the United States. We took a middle-of-the-road approach to this, we showed U.S. power. But you can be sure that, on the terrorist websites and in their communications, they’re sort of laughing, yeah, they gave us a lot of warning and yeah, we got all the people out and some of the bombs missed and blah, blah, blah, because that’s the kind of the bravado that you expect from some of these people. What we’re going to do is being — is collect hard intelligence, and see if we have to go back in and re-strike.

"She followed Mengele in Argentina in 1961 - and was murdered,"

Nurit Eldad

The members of the team who went to Bariloche

On March 23, 1961, the Israeli press published a report that looked like it had been taken from an overly imaginative Hollywood movie.

 "She followed Mengele in Argentina - and was murdered," the headlines screamed. "The mysterious secretary of the Israeli delegation in Cologne was apparently 'executed' by Nazi agents, who had found out that she was one of the Israeli commandos hunting Nazi war criminals who found refuge in Argentina," the reports claimed.

The name of the mysterious Israeli woman was Nurit Eldad, but she was also known as Eldod, Eldot, and Eldok - and the news report was the first clue to the extraordinary story of her life and death.

The day after the sensational report, the claims that Nurit had been killed while carrying out a spying mission on senior Nazi officials were vehemently denied.  "Nurit Eldod – a victim of an accident in the mountains of Argentina – was not murdered by Nazis," wrote the Davar newspaper, which stated that she "perished while hiking in the mountains of southern Argentina - something that was clear beyond a shadow of a doubt already a year ago."

The vigorous denials were effective. The story of Nurit's death and the jaw-dropping news that she was murdered by Josef Mengele, the infamous Auschwitz doctor, who selected who would be sent to the gas chambers, who to experiments, and who to hard labor, were dismissed as an urban legend. However, a close examination of the denials raises questions. An article from the Davar newspaper, which is not signed by any reporter but by Davar Staff, states that "according to the report that arrived in Israel about a year ago, Nurit slipped and fell into a deep crevice and there was no possibility to help her or to retrieve her body."

However, we can now reveal for the first time the testimonies of several people who were with Nurit on the trip where she died. These reveal that no one saw her fall to her death. Moreover, her body was found only after a four-day search by a rescue mission, and the testimony of the rescue personnel  indicates that she was found with her backpack and belongings lying neatly next to her – a far cry from the reports that denied foul play.

This did not prevent former Mossad director Isser Harel from publishing a report in the Maariv newspaper in June 1985 that categorically denied the details of the case. "This story has been circulating in various versions for years in the world media," Harel said. "But whenever I was asked about it, including recently, I denied it outright. There never was an 'Israeli agent' who was infiltrated by the Mossad into Mengele's vicinity and murdered by him."

In the years since not a single historian specializing in the study of Mossad operations has found out the riveting details of the story of Nurit's death. In 2007, the Mossad's history department published a large volume detailing the organization's extensive efforts to get its hands on Mengele. The volume contains not a single word about Nurit and the story of her and she remains an enigma shrouded in mystery.

Who was Nurit Eldot

Moment CNN host is stunned into silence after former NYPD cop tells her migrants commit more crimes in NYC than Florida because State will jail them

 



 CNN anchor Erica Hill was left stunned when the channel’s veteran law enforcement analyst voiced some unexpected home truths about crime in New York.

The awkward moment came as the panel discussed Saturday’s brutal assault on two police officers in Times Square, and the disappearance of the migrants arrested after they were freed without bond.

Just one of the six charged is still in jail despite multiple previous charges, and four are now thought to have fled on a bus to California with the help of a church-affiliated charity.

‘Does the fact that they were police officers change anything?’ pondered Hill as she probed ex-cop John Miller over the case and the suspect’s backgrounds.

‘What the detectives are telling me is that they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing then go to Florida to spend the money then come back,’ Miller told her.

‘And I’m like ‘why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida’ and they said ‘because there you go to jail’.’

Biden finally strikes back — too little, too late

 

Too Little, Too Late.

Late Friday afternoon the US military began strikes in response to the attack that killed three US soldiers the weekend before, but so far it looks like President Biden opted for the least he could do.

Again.

We’ll keep up some hope: The Pentagon and National Security Council said Thursday it will be a multifaceted campaign, and NSC spokesman John Kirby announced, “The first thing you see won’t be the last.”

But it looks like the targets will be exclusively in Syria and Iraq, and mainly Iran’s proxy forces there, though some Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps units might get hit.

IRGC forces inside Iran will be perfectly safe, even though the White House fully admits Tehran is behind it all.

Huh?

Sick!!! Biden Wants Israel to Drop Foreign Manpower Providers, Keep PA Workers Who Want To Rape Jewish Women

 



Israel’s construction industry has been in deep trouble since October 7, 2023, facing a debilitating shortage of experienced workers due to the ban on PA Arabs. Meanwhile, the effort to recruit workers through manpower firms in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe has not been yielding the needed results. On Thursday, Calcalist broke the news that the failure to recruit construction workers abroad who aren’t potential Hamas agents is not going anywhere because of draconian conditions invented by the Justice Ministry, which in turn is being pushed by the Biden administration.

The American excuse is that Israel’s effort to bring in foreign workers who were recruited by private companies would lead to the exploitation of these workers, to the point of trafficking, arguing that Israel is not prepared to combat this problem.

But the real effort, clearly, is to force Israel to legitimize the entry of some 100 thousand Arab workers from the PA. This is because the Biden administration is pushing the two-state solution down Israel’s throat worse than President Obama had done (in some cases it’s the same people), and the envisioned Palestinian State’s economy would inevitably rely on those day workers who bring home the shekels.

Biden Signs Executive Order Against Jewish Settlers Who Won’t Sit Down and Be Murdered

 

State Dept. Spokesperson Matthew Miller on Thursday reported that “President Biden and Secretary Blinken have been clear that the levels of violence we have seen in the West Bank over the past few months are unacceptable. Violence in the West Bank surged to alarming levels in 2023. This includes unprecedented levels of violence by Israeli extremist settlers targeting Palestinians and their property, as well as violence by Palestinian extremist militants against Israeli civilians.”

Reality Check:
In mid-November, Central Command Commander Major General Yehuda Fox, no great lover of the settlement enterprise, with the elected officials of Binyamin Regional Council reassured them that as far as he was concerned, the accusations regarding settler violence were libelous.

Liberman: 'Netanyahu wants to make peace with Saudis and to retire'

 

Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman MK Avigdor Liberman, who claims to know Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu better than anyone else in politics does, claimed in an interview with Israel Hayom that the Prime Minister wants to leave politics.

"It's clear to me that Netanyahu wants to leave," Liberman told the newspaper. "He wants to achieve peace with Saudi Arabia, so that could be his legacy, and so he won't go down in history as the one behind Israel's biggest failure. Netanyahu won't take chances with a war in the north, he will push for a diplomatic solution that will buy quiet in the north for a limited time, he will get a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia for his legacy, and will retire.

According to Liberman, "In his vision, Netanyahu wants to have a deal with Saudi Arabia by October, and for the US to be part of the deal before the elections it has to happen by June."

He says that Netanyahu is showing signs that he is ready to retire. "He's sick of it. I don't remember Netanyahu being so passive, especially after that crazy conference at the Jerusalem International Convention Center," he says, referring to the conference held this week which called for the reestablishment of Jewish Gush Katif communities in the Gaza Strip.

Regarding the conference, the former Minister of Defense said: "It's just a fantasy. There is no place for resettling now in Gush Katif. There are those doing it (participated in the conference) for electoral reasons, for the primaries. Some delirious people really believe it and want it, but it is not on the agenda."
