Blue and White says latest loyalty pledge to Netanyahu means 4th elections
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Blue and White party says right-wing religious parties’ signing of a loyalty pledge to Prime Minister Netanyahu will prolong Israel’s political deadlock.
“The [right-wing] bloc is leading to further elections,” the party says in a statement.
“Netanyahu doesn’t have a government, like he didn’t after the last two election campaigns,” it adds.
Netanyahu counters by repeating his stump line that Blue and White leader Gantz cannot form a government without backing from the Joint List, an alliance of four predominantly Arab parties.
“The commitment of the right-wing bloc is the final nail in Gantz’s bluff,” he tweets.
