Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has responded to Chairman Benny Gantz of the Blue and White Party's promise to apply Israeli sovereignty in the Jordan Valley after the elections by asking, "Why wait after the elections if sovereignty can be applied to the Jordan Valley already with broad support in the Knesset?"
The Likud Party chairman continued, "Benny Gantz, I look forward to your response tonight, unless [hostile Arab Knesset member] Ahmad Tibi vetoes you."
