Prime Minister Binyamin said, Thursday afternoon, "I was surprised and disappointed that, as of this time, Benny Gantz is still refusing to respond to my call to meet."
Netanyahu explained, "The president called for unity, and without a meeting between the two major party leaders, it is impossible to form a unity government. The State of Israel needs as broad a unity government as possible - not repeated elections and certainly not a government that relies on anti-Zionist parties. Gantz, my proposal for a meeting between us still stands. This is what the public expects from us."
