Far-right combative Finance Minister in
the Netanyahu Cabinet (Israel),
Bezalel Smotrich,
met Wednesday with his counterpart
in the Trump-Vance administration,
Secy. of the Treasury Scott Bessent.
They issued a joint statement
to enhance collaboration between Israel
/ Jerusalem and Washington / Mar-a-lago
on issues such as economic policy,
technology, and financial regulation.
Smotrich gave wholehearted approval
for Trump's announced "Riviera on the
Mediterranean" plan for the forced
dislocation of Gazan residents ahead of
America's "owning" the Gaza Strip and
erecting a new district of condos and
Trump casinos as well as luxury accommodations.
Smotrich holds a powerful role in distributing
for the West Bank / Palestinian Authority
and a role in the defense ministry that
has allowed him to advance Jewish settlement
in the West Bank.
