Gantz says he won’t sit with Netanyahu ‘under any circumstances’
Defense Minister Benny Gantz says he won’t sit in a government with opposition chief Benjamin Netanyahu “under any circumstances,” after the latter said this evening that he won’t form a coalition with Gantz.
The National Camp party leader says there are “parties with an interest to hint I will sit with Netanyahu, because National Camp is the only party that can dismantle the Netanyahu bloc.”
Gantz says he won’t even hold negotiations with Netanyahu’s Likud, and challenges Prime Minister Yair Lapid and other coalition party leaders to follow suit.
