‘Will Trump be good for Israel? It depends on Netanyahu’

Chairman of Likud National Headquarters Shevach Stern is not concerned about possible damage from the investigation of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and is convinced that should Netanyahu be forced to resign, a replacement will be found.

“There is a lot of background noise and a lot of deliberate leaks,” Stern told Arutz Sheva, “What is true in the leaks, none of us know; things will become clear only after the investigation.

“In the Netanyahu-Mozes investigation a molehill was born of a mountain in terms of criminal suspicion against the Prime Minister. There is no doubt that the transcript was discovered in its full ugliness and ignominy. Also about the other matter, things are unclear and we need to wait.”

Stern hopes that Trump’s inauguration will bring changes both in the statements of the Israeli government and the one who stands at its head. “The masquerade party is about to end this weekend, and Trump’s statements and appointments indicate a change for the better – the question is what will be Israel’s position? Because if the Prime Minister continues talking about the vision of two-states for two nations, which has become a theoretical vision only, then surely our situation will be worse.”
