“Satan fires hellfire minister beelzebub”
Such convenient timing when everyone is focused on the American elections.
Netanyahu never wastes a good distraction to push his agenda.
They do have a history of doing this. The entire 2012 operation happened in the same time frame election to just before inauguration, same with 2008.
Israel’s foreign minister, Israel Katz, has reportedly been nominated by Netanyahu as Gallant’s replacement.

On peace and security matters, Katz is considered to be a hardliner in the Israeli government. He takes an annexationist view of the West Bank: he supports continued settlement construction, extending full Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, and severing all relations with the Palestinian Authority. He opposes the two-state solution and the creation of a Palestinian state in any form, which he regards as unacceptable considering “our rights to this land”.
In March 2016, Katz argued that Israel should employ “targeted civil eliminations” against leaders of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). The expression puns on the Hebrew word for targeted assassinations.
I wonder what a “softline” is for a member of the Israeli government
