Blue and White said not entirely convinced election crisis is over

Gantz’s Blue and White party is still not entirely convinced that Netanyahu will indeed ensure that the election crisis is over, Channel 12 reports.

The party will believe it only if and when the final vote delaying a budget for 100 days —  and thus averting an automatic resort to elections — is voted into law sometime before Monday midnight.

Netanyahu said in his press conference that he had heard that Gantz was now objecting to the Hauser proposal to delay the budget. Apparently, this was one of the comments that has Blue and White still worried.

Zvi Hauser of the minor Derekh Eretz faction, for his part, says “I’m happy to hear” that Netanyahu accepted his proposal, but stresses that it still has to be voted into law.

Likud coalition chairman Miki Zohar says Netanyahu’s agreement to the proposal shows “he puts Israel’s interests first,” and that all the claims to the contrary were political “spin.”
