Chairman Moshe Kahlon of the Kulanu Party said on Sunday that he will not join forces with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud Party or challenger Benny Gantz's Israel Resilience Party, despite polls that show Kulanu may not have enough votes by itself to remain in the Knesset.
Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio, the finance minister said, "I will not join anyone. Every connection is only a work arrangement, if today the public does not want me as finance minister - I will not come from the back door through Gantz or Bibi."
