Benny Gantz, who has lost the enormous following he had – primarily in my mind because he was too nice and trusting and let Bibi screw him over more than once – is trying to win something of his status back by asking to join the government.  At the very moment the government doesn’t need interference at all.  They’ve got a plan and they’re not letting anything stand in their way – not the sacrifices of soldiers, not the famine in Gaza, not the opposition of the people.  

And I admire him for it.  For his refusal to compromise with what is right, knowing he doesn’t know how to win the game.

I admire him.   

He probably won’t get anywhere with his bid to join the government, but he may well remind some of the people in the government of the idea of sacrificing a little ego for the sake of the country.
