Political commentators analyzing the current political crisis anticipate that Benny Gantz, head of the Blue & White party, will give his assent to the new legislative proposal postponing the final date by which the budget must be passed, but that he will insist that Netanyahu refrain from meddling in the matter of appointments to key positions.
The positions under consideration are those of police commissioner, state attorney, and attorney-general, all of which are particularly pertinent to Netanyahu during his trial on corruption charges.
