Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz said in a Galei Tzahal interview that he does not intend to give up the biennial budget.

"We don't know what kind of reality will develop in coming months, but we need a stable and stabilizing economic plan."

About tensions in the government, Gantz said: "Going to elections at this time would be irresponsible - I'm convinced Prime Minister Netanyahu understands this. I believe we will find the way to stabilize this government."

When asked about the explosions in Iran, he replied: "We will do everything possible to prevent Iran from spreading terror and military forces - but I don't refer to one specific incident or another."
