Netanyahu and Gantz

Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz is reiterating that he does not intend to sit with Benjamin Netanyahu in the same government.

Channel 12 News reported that Gantz has made clear once again in recent days to Netanyahu that he will not go with him and that he is committed to the so-called “bloc of change”.

Gantz clarified this after Netanyahu sent emissaries to him on Thursday with an offer to join a government led by Netanyahu.

The report stated that Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett is set to make a fairly important decision in the coming days that will determine the direction of the political system: Will he finally decide to join the “bloc of change” and form a government in a rotation as Prime Minister with Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid or he will not remain with the right-wing bloc, join Netanyahu - and try to form a government with him in some constellation?
