Gantz said threatening to advance anti-Netanyahu bills if no deal reached
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz, who is Knesset speaker, tells his party lawmakers that if a coalition deal is not approved by Monday, he’ll advance legislation that would prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a government, according to Channel 12.
The proposed bill, which has a majority in parliament with the opposition, aims to block anyone who faces criminal charges from forming a coalition, effectively disqualifying Netanyahu.
The report, which does not cite a source, comes as negotiators from Blue and White and Likud resume talks.
