National Unity party leader Benny Gantz denies that the opposition is ready to agree to a piecemeal judicial deal in exchange for placing an opposition lawmaker on the Judicial Selection Committee.

“I don’t know of any deal” relating to the panel, Gantz says, minutes after fellow opposition party leader Avigdor Liberman said he believed that an agreement would be made ahead of Wednesday’s election to choose committee members.

“I don’t know what Liberman based his remarks on. I don’t know what he knows,” Gantz says.
