Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz recently spoke with Amit Segal at the Jerusalem conference of the B'Sheva newspaper.

Gantz said Netanyahu would do anything to prevent his trial, "this is not what the State of Israel needs."

"I have great anger at the prime minister not only on a personal level. I had a political accident because I went with Netanyahu. I am paying an electoral price for it but I will recover," Gantz added. "The scenario of me being prime minister again is possible."

On the possibility that Blue and White people will defect, he said "Pnina Tamano Shata is number 2 in Blue and White, and will stay in Blue and White. She does a great job."
