These comments indicate that he is totally clueless about the Saudi Plan's following features:
- The capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine will be Amman – not Jerusalem
- Implementing the Saudi plan can be successfully concluded in months - not years –requiring negotiations to determine:
- who exercises security control in the territory of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine west of the Jordan River
- the demarcation line between Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine
- custodianship of the Islamic Holy Sites in Jerusalem
Gantz is ignorant of the Saudi Plan's promised further outcomes:

- Abandonment of the 74 years-old claim to the right of return
- Consigning a separate Palestinian Arab State between Jordan and Israel to the diplomatic graveyard – promoted unsuccessfully by the United Nations for the last 29 years
- Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and stateless refugees get full citizenship in the merged Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine with all the elements of sovereignty applicable to those Territories that belonging to a fully recognized state in the UN entail.
I have written to Gantz asking him to answer 5 questions for inclusion in this article:
- When he first became aware of the Saudi plan?
- Has he commented on the Saudi plan since its release on 8 June 2022?
- If so - when and where were such comments published?
- If he has made no comment - would he like to make any comment on the Saudi plan that I can publish verbatim and attribute to him?
- Is he prepared to promise Israeli voters that he will use his best endeavours to implement the Saudi plan if he becomes Israel's next Prime Minister?
No response has been received.
The Saudi Plan's author – Ali Shihabi – sees no Israeli politician with the guts and vision of General de Gaulle to implement the Saudi Plan.
Gantz is certainly not that de Gaulle – he is de Goose – a fool.
