Gantz says loyalty pledge to Netanyahu ‘not worth the paper it’s written on’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBlue and White chairman Benny Gantz has dubbed the pact between Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party and right-wing religious factions a “block of ice,” while warning that the alliance will lead to a fourth round of elections.
Shas, United Torah Judaism, and Yamina earlier today signed another pledge to only back Netanyahu to form a government after the upcoming elections.
Gantz says the pledge “is not worth the paper it’s written on” and in a play on one of Netanyahu’s attack lines against him, says Likud cannot form a government with the premier at the helm.
“If Blue and White wins by a large margin of seats, this will melt the block of ice,” Gantz says during a campaign event at Kibbutz Evron.
