Gantz: Netanyahu trying to ‘drag us into war to postpone the elections’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBlue and White leader Benny Gantz, who is challenging Netanyahu for the premiership in the elections tomorrow, responds to reports that the prime minister almost launched a massive strike on Gaza last week, potentially causing the postponement of the elections.
“Netanyahu did away with ambiguity for political ends,” Gantz charges in a tweet, alluding to recent comments by the prime minister boasting of Israeli military actions. “Now he’s lost it and wants to drag us into war to postpone the elections.
“[This is a] scenario that belongs [in the TV show] ‘House of Cards,’ not in the State of Israel.”
