Joint List Chairman, MK Ayman Uda, responded to Blue and White party chairman Benny Gantz's statement according to which he will act to annex the Jordan Valley immediately after the elections.
Uda stated: "Gantz, Israeli citizens deserve hope and not imitations. This is not the way to replace a prime minister. Annexation means the destruction of any chance for democracy and peace. You appear to have forgotten that life continues even after a campaign. Your pathetic attempt to grab a few votes from the right is not worth the destruction of all of our futures."
