Netanyahu is angered by the War Cabinet minister's trip to Washington, telling him that "there is only one prime minister."
The Israeli embassy in Washington has been instructed not to handle a visit to the U.S. capital by War Cabinet member Benny Gantz.
The National Unity Party leader and minister-without-portfolio is arriving on Sunday ahead of meetings with senior Biden administration officials in the unauthorized trip that was not given the green-light by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Gantz informed Netanyahu of his intention to fly to Washington for a series of meetings and asked for coordination.
A source confirmed to Ynet that he “made it clear to Minister Gantz that the State of Israel only has one prime minister,” adding that the trip preparations did not follow proper procedures mandating “every minister to clear travel in advance with the prime minister, including approval of the travel plan.”
