Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz said on Tuesday night at the conclusion of his meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu: "At the start of the meeting today, I said once again, as I have said since entering the political field, that Israel needs a broad and liberal unity government composed primarily of the two major political parties, led by Blue and White which won the elections.”
“A unity government which, alongside security and economic concerns, will work to end the rifting that has spread in Israeli society in recent years. A government whose founding lines will be set on the basis of major parties and therefore cannot be built on the basis of one or another sectoral bloc.”
“Third elections are a bad thing, but basic principles and values cannot be dispensed with.
