Gantz said to threaten Likud if it doesn’t sign coalition deal ‘within hour’

Blue and White leader Benny Gantz sends a letter to Likud, warning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to sign a coalition deal with him within the hour or face political consequences, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

Gantz, who is serving as interim Knesset speaker, threatens to advance legislation “today” against Netanyahu that would bar politicians facing criminal charges from forming a government, effectively disqualifying the Likud leader, if passed.
