Yisrael Hayom reported, Thursday morning, that despite the fact that Blue and White Party Chairman Benny Gantz claimed that the Prime Minister Binyamin's demand for a debate was a "spin of Netanyahu", he expressed himself in a completely different way in talks with his associates.
According to the report, people close to Gantz admitted that the chairman does indeed want to have a public debate with Netanyahu, but that his advisors are the ones who are urging him not to do so, because they say the move won't serve the list's campaign. A party source told the newspaper that "the advisors fear that it will put him in a bad light and he is listening to them at this point in order to serve the campaign. ”Gantz declined to comment on the report.
