Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz tells reporters he will meet again with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after the two held coalition negotiations this evening.

“I finished a matter-of-fact meeting with the prime minister. I can inform you that I’ll continue with all efforts to form a unity government and to prevent third elections for the State of Israel,” Gantz says at an event for the IDF’s Paratroopers Brigade, which he once headed.

The meeting earlier today was the first between Netanyahu and Gantz since the latter was tasked last week with forming a government, after the premier failed to do so.
