Gantz: Immunity request shows Netanyahu knows he’s guilty
Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz says Prime Minister Netanyahu’s announcement he’ll request parliamentary immunity from graft charges shows the premier knows he is guilty.
“This is a tough day for the country and a sad day for me,” Gantz says in a speech.
Gantz says his party will push for the establishment of a Knesset House Committee so the immunity request can be debated by parliament.
“Either there is a kingdom of Netanyahu here or a State of Israel,” he says.
