Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rebuked Benny Gantz over the rival politician’s trip to Washington, DC, according to The Associated Press news agency.
The visit by Gantz, who joined Netanyahu’s wartime Cabinet following Hamas’s October 7 attack, comes as frictions between the US and Netanyahu rise over Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.
An official from Netanyahu’s far-right Likud party told the AP that Gantz’s trip was planned without authorisation from the Israeli leader.
The official, who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity, said Netanyahu had a “tough talk” with Gantz and told him the country has “just one prime minister”.
