In a recent interview with ALL ISRAEL NEWS, former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz shared his optimism about Donald Trump’s return to office, citing four key reasons why he believes it will be beneficial for Israel’s peace and security.
Gantz thinks Trump’s love and support for Israel, combined with his successes in the region during his first term, make him the ideal leader to restore calm in the Middle East and expand the Abraham Accords. Trump’s pro-Israel convictions and Middle East strategy have earned Gantz’s deep appreciation.
Gantz praises Trump’s Middle East peace plan as the most realistic proposal discussed in recent years.
The plan envisions a small, demilitarized Palestinian state, acknowledging Israel’s security needs and the necessity of Palestinians living in peace and security without posing a threat to Israel.
Gantz believes Trump is best suited to quiet and contain Iran.
By re-imposing extreme economic and diplomatic sanctions and maintaining a robust American military threat, Trump may be able to force Iran to stop attacking Israel, pursuing nuclear weapons, and exporting terror.
Gantz is confident that Trump will finalize a groundbreaking peace and normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
This agreement, which President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were unable to achieve, would be a significant milestone in Trump’s second term.
Gantz’s positive outlook on Trump’s return is rooted in his experience working with the Trump administration during his tenure as defense minister.
He values the intimate partnership they shared and looks forward to collaborating with them again.
As Gantz prepares for the post-Netanyahu era, his focus remains on shaping a better future for the Israeli people and restoring trust between society, government, and the military.
While his own political ambitions are uncertain, Gantz’s commitment to Israel’s security and prosperity is unwavering.
The former defense minister’s assessment of Israel’s wars against Hamas and Hezbollah suggests that major combat operations will conclude in early 2025. With Trump’s return, Gantz sees a unique opportunity for Israel to strengthen its position in the region and advance its interests.
As the political landscape in Israel continues to evolve, Benny Gantz’s thoughts on Trump’s return offer valuable insight into the complex dynamics at play.
Whether or not Gantz will play a major role in Israel’s future, his dedication to the country’s well-being is undeniable.
