Gantz said, "A few days ago, Netanyahu and I reached a decent agreement...that provides a fair distribution of the huge burden facing the emergency government."

"We have [reached] understandings. I hope and insist that we exercise them for the benefit of Israeli citizens."

"A strong leader is [one who] leads and not dragged. Citizens expect us to make tough decisions, they expect us to decide that we are loyal to the state and its citizens first and foremost."
