Former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon frankly discusses Operation Protective Edge, the Elor Azaria affair – and his own vision and ambition.
“Abbas won’t deliver the goods. There isn’t anyone on their side who can. Trump is looking for a deal. But there is no partner for a deal.”
Ya'alon said, however, that he "doesn’t want to rule" over Palestinians, and is against annexation of Area C and "settling everywhere."
Ya’alon’s decision to start up his own political vehicle is an unsurprising and obvious move.
Ya’alon came out against the so-called Hebron shooter and labeled him a murderer.
Sa'ar and Ya'alon are both senior Likud figures resigned from the cabinet and took a break from politics due in part to disputes with Netanyahu.
Any disagreement the military has with that government must be voiced in appropriate private forums.
Behind the scenes of the political upheaval that brought the Yisrael Beytenu leader to the Defense Ministry.
Ya’alon is correct that IDF officers must “continue to be brave, not only on the battlefield, but also at the conference table.”
