Can somebody explain to me what Herzog’s real agenda is here?
Saul Alinsky probably can.
Same as the “agenda” against God and His people throughout history...
Herzog, Livni, Lapid, and the rest of the Israeli left seem to think Israel should always bow to the dictates of the US president, especially when he is hostile to Israel.
They seem to have prioritized protecting Zero, who they think is (or should be) the PM of Israel over winning the election.
Zero is incredibly unpopular in Israel and has been since he first took office, so by presenting a united front with him they know they are guaranteeing a Netanyahu victory.
That’s how I read the situation, anyway.
From the article.....
Herzog added: "A few days ago, I told the AIPAC conference organizers that I was deeply sorry, but that I could not attend the conference at which I had been invited to deliver a speech. American Jewry is very important to me, but it is clear that replacing the Netanyahu government is just as important, and that is my primary mission these days. When I'm prime minister, I will travel anywhere in order to uphold the security interests of the citizens of the State of Israel."
I think that ^^ pretty much sums up what his "real" agenda is. He wants to replace Bibi, as PM. Good luck with that!
