Defense Minister Benny Gantz calls to keep Israeli national security issues out of the rough and tumble of election politics, after Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly traded barbs over a potential renewed Iran nuclear deal.
“Iran’s effort to breakout to a nuclear bomb does not differentiate between governments,” Gantz says in a statement. “Against the Iranian threat, we must all remain united and focused on the target.”
