From Confirming nixed Gantz deal, Levy-Abekasis announces independent Knesset run
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOrly Levy-Abekasis says the merger negotiations with Israel Resilience party were unsuccessful, and that her Gesher party will be running independently in the upcoming elections.
In a statement, Levy-Abekasis slams Israel Resilience leader Benny Gantz, saying it is “disappointing that the person promoting clean politics failed his first test — the test of credibility.”
According to reports, Gantz and Yesh Atid party leader Yair Lapid are close to striking a deal to run on a joint ticket in the April elections.
Recent polls have put Gesher hovering around the electoral threshold, raising the possibility it could fail to enter the Knesset.
