BEERSHEBA — Claiming that Benny Gantz’s National Unity party has been enjoying a boost in the central Sharon region, Religious Zionism MK Itamar Ben Gvir takes off to the central area via helicopter from a private airport near Beersheba.

A spokesman for the party acknowledges that Ben Gvir was already scheduled to head to the area, though the idea to travel by helicopter was new.

“It’s either a government with Gantz or a government with Ben Gvir,” the far-right lawmaker declares before taking off.

Ben Gvir has warned that Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu will once again agree to form a government with the more centrist Gantz if Religious Zionism doesn’t win enough seats.
