Bannon knows that. I'm sure Netanyahu is nervous he will lose control of the situation if he doesn't control who gets Trump's ear. Right now it seems the connection to Trump for Israel goes through Bannon. Bet Bibi doesn't want anyone to get to Trump and mess that up. It kinda implies Netanyahu doesn't trust Trump to not change his mind, piss him off or doesn't want to risk it in any way. And Trump is speaking about a peace deal already which must scare Netanyahu.
