Seems like a Unity government in Israel will be announced today.




Any ideas what this might mean?

Dermer was the long time ambassador to the US. Gallant is the current defense minister.. Did BiBi dump the ultra conservatives?

government OUT or at least offset given the circumstances don't favor ousting the Netanyahu government entirely, NOW (albeit later, one can be sure).

At least this is what I glean from the so-called expert analysts I've read or heard lately. So, yes, it seems the ultra-conservatives might be out, though I doubt the decision came from Netanyahu, rather than external pressures.

they are bombing exiting routes from Gaza to other countries. Seems like they are going in.

Israeli needs all hands desks, something Bibi should have allowed initially.

This was on Saturday. I believe. His condition was that
Netanyahu dismiss the 2 extreme far right cabinet members, which hasn't happened. Reconstructing this from BBC and Israeli station I have been checking on.
Having Gantz join a unity govt. is a good sign, possibly.
