Sources within the Trump administration who are close to Prime Minister Netanyahu have started working to establish unofficial communication channels with former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, according to a report linked by Israeli media.
A report circulated via Israeli media, attributed to sources within the Trump administration close to Prime Minister Netanyahu, indicates a move to build unofficial communication channels with two prominent Israeli political figures outside the current coalition leadership: former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot. The report, which surfaced late Saturday, does not specify the purpose of the channels or whether the figures themselves have been approached. The sourcing is a single report without named officials or on-record confirmation. The Zioneer has no prior reporting on this specific development.
