“The question is, why isn’t Netanyahu fixing the crisis-maker and freeing us from the damage done by Ehud Barak?”
Because with an attack on Iran looming, Barak is a great military asset. And he was Bibi’s CO and Bibi works well with him.
A “great military asset” who undermines his PM, and alienates his political base? Who blackmails the government with his supposed military prowess on the eve of war? If Israel were a military dictatorship with no diplomatic relationships with anyone, he’d be a “great military asset”. What he is in the real world is a one-trick pony who hasn’t even done that one trick in a long time, and sabotages his only friend. Wars aren’t fought in a vacuum. Political and diplomatic factors are ignored at one’s peril.
Ehud must go.
