Gantz and Ya’alon in talks on unified Knesset slate — reports

Reports on Hadashot TV news and Channel 10 say that former IDF chief of staff Benny Gantz is in talks with another former military chief, Moshe Ya’alon, on running together for Knesset on a single slate in the upcoming elections.

Ya’alon, a former defense minister for the Likud party, announced his intention to launch a party yesterday.

Gantz, a political neophyte, is considered a potential threat to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — but only if he succeeds in uniting broad swaths of the center-left under his leadership.
