Blue and White denies unity deal close, says talks with Likud halted
The Blue and White party denies reports that Benny Gantz is willing to break up the party and join a unity government while going second in a rotation deal for the premiership.
“Negotiations with the Likud team were stopped tonight,” the party says in a statement.
“No meeting took place today and contrary to the reports, there are no agreements,” it adds. “What we have seen throughout the day is cynical spin during a great and difficult crisis for Israeli citizens.
“Next week, Likud will get a functioning Knesset for the benefit of Israel’s citizens.”
