Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked Benny Gantz, chairman of the Blue and White party. "Since Gantz needs Ahmad Tibi (a member of the anti-Zionist Joint List party) to form a government, it's no wonder that he refuses to condemn Ehud Olmert, his close adviser, for standing together with Abu Mazen and Ahmad Tibi against the deal of the century. Speaking of Gantz, Netanyahu stated: "The time has come for you to put Israel before everything else and condemn the proclamations of your friend Ehud Olmert."
