Ron Dermer is Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs serving in the government war cabinet. He is an eloquent spokesman for Israel’s cause. Dan Senor sat down with Dermer for the current episode of the Call Me Back podcast. Dermer will be one of the government’s representatives dispatched to Washington in response to the summons for a meeting with Biden’s brain trust.
Senor provides this summary of the podcast:
In the days ahead, Minister Dermer will be flying to Washington with a small delegation to meet with the Biden administration about the IDF’s options for Rafah, which we discuss. We also discuss where the overall military operation in Gaza stands now, the hostage negotiations, whether the Israeli Government should be expected to have a day-after plan rolled out now, what role the Arab world can or should play in that day-after planning, and the Government of Canada’s decision to ban future arms sales to Israel.
When Dermer says “that’s crazy” at about 27:30, he refers to what “a lot of people” are saying. He leaves them unnamed, but you should be able to figure out the reference. In any event, I hope readers will find this of interest.
