From Gantz again shrugs off Netanyahu’s call for election debate
Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz again turns down Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s challenge to a televised debate ahead of the March 2 elections, dismissing it as “spin” and linking it to the premier’s upcoming corruption trial.
“Netanyahu has been avoiding debates for over a decade. He avoided my call for debates in the last rounds of elections. He suddenly wants one because of his court date set for March 17,” Gantz says at a press conference in Ramat Gan.
He adds: “This whole event is one big media spin.”
