Ex-IDF chief: If not convicted, Netanyahu ‘worthy’ to be PM again
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer IDF chief of staff Benny Gantz, thought to be planning a future political run for prime minister, says Netanyahu is a worthy candidate for the premiership — if cleared of criminal wrongdoing.
“If he is elected again and is not convicted of crimes, he is worthy to serve as prime minister,” says Gantz, according to the Ynet news site. “It’s the most difficult job in the state. It’s very easy to stand on the side and berate those carrying out his mission.”
Gantz, who served as IDF chief during the 2014 Gaza war, says he is “seriously considering” running in the next election.
