Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed former Israel Defense Forces chiefs of staff Benny Gantz, Moshe Yaalon and Gabi Ashkenazi during a speech to an emergency meeting of the Likud Party in Tel Aviv.

Speaking against a minority government that would lean on the Joint List of predominantly Arab parties, Netanyahu said the Joint List accuses the former military leaders of war crimes just as it accuses him of war crimes for actions taken by the IDF.
