Jerusalem CNN —Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on a winning streak.
He fired his defense minister, Yoav Gallant, who long threatened his coalition and whose attempted dismissal last year led to massive protests.
Donald Trump meets with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago on July 26, in Palm Beach, Florida.
The slate of accusations against the prime minister, he said, are “an opportunity” to brand himself as the victim of a witch hunt.
Reports in Israeli media this week suggest that his office may be floating a trial balloon for dismissing Baharav Miara.
