Gantz and Sa’ar hold first joint party meeting, vow to establish ‘broad’ government
Gantz and Sa’ar hold a first joint meeting of their new joint Blue and White-New Hope party and declare their goal of forming a big-tent coalition after the coming elections.
“Our goal is to end the political crisis and establish a stable, broad… government that will serve a full term,” Gantz says.
“Today Israel needs a patriotic… leadership that can lead it out of the diplomatic crisis and ensure its future,” Sa’ar says.
“We won’t allow the machine of poison, lies, fake news and slander to work overtime in an effort to distract us from that goal,” he adds, alluding to Likud and its leader, Benjamin Netanyahu.
