Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke this morning with Likud ministers and MKs and referred to recommendations against him that could lead to an indictment.
"At the end of this election, the choice is between a weak left-wing government led by Lapid and Gantz and a strong right-wing Likud government, and the media will do everything for the Left to win," he said.
"Lapid and Gantz are trying to hide and camouflage as if they're not Left, and the media is trying to hide all sorts of things about Gantz. No, not what you're thinking. They're hiding the fact that a year after Protective Edge Gantz participated in a memorial ceremony for a thousand Hamas terrorists killed in Protective Edge. Look at what the media's hiding on Gantz! Gantz says he risked the Golani soldiers so as not to hurt the Palestinians, that's Left."
"Today we hear that Lapid and Gantz say they won't sit with us, they'll sit with Tibi. Michael Biton said it this morning. They'll sit with Tibi in the government! Their entire strategy is based on the fact that Lapid and Gantz aren't leftists. If we clarify this truth to the public, the Likud can catch up and win."
