National Unity party leader Benny Gantz speaks with Justice Minister Yariv Levin at the Knesset and tells him that if the legislation process of the legal overhaul is halted, he could come as early as tonight for compromise talks with a team from his party.
Hebrew media add that Gantz has also spoken with President Isaac Herzog to discuss the matter, asking the president to advance the proposal as laid out yesterday, which included a legislation halt as a precondition for talks.
Gantz’s stance is thus the same as that voiced earlier by Opposition Leader Yair Lapid.
