Gantz would be ‘flattered’ to be compared to Yitzhak Rabin

Speaking with Times of Israel’s David Horovitz, Benny Gantz answers a question from the crowd by saying he would be “flattered” to be compared to former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated by a right-wing activist in 1995 after signing the Oslo Accords with the Palestinian Authority.

“This is a country that should be preserved and developed,” Gantz says at the end of the event. “I’m telling, this is a time of emergency. If you want to vote Netanyahu, that is your right. But whoever thinks change is needed, that things are exaggerated, must vote for us.”
