Gantz inks agreement to run with fellow former IDF chief Moshe Ya’alon
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHebrew media reports say former IDF chief and Israel Resilience Party leader Benny Gantz has signed his first political agreement, agreeing to run together with fellow former IDF head Moshe Ya’alon’s Telem party in the April 9 elections.
There is no information immediately available about the details of the agreement. Reports have suggested Ya’alon asked for three seats in the joint Knesset slate’s top 10 slots.
Gantz is expected to announce the alliance in his 8 p.m. speech tonight, his first major campaign address.
Sources in Gantz’s party also say he will have a “surprise guest” at tonight’s speech.
