Gantz: 70 years ago, my mother and Lapid’s father lived in same apartment building in Budapest ghetto

Looking emotional while addressing Blue and White members and supporters at the launch of the newly-formed alliance, Benny Gantz reveals that his mother, Malka, and Yair Lapid’s father, Tommy, lived in a shared apartment building in the Budapest ghetto. He said he only found out about this a few days ago.

“And here today, the son of Tommy, of blessed memory, and the son of Malka, of blessed memory, stand before you on one stage,” he says.
