Gantz tells confidants about major breakthrough in coalition talks — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChannel 12 reports that Blue and White party chairman Benny Gantz told confidants that a significant breakthrough has been made in talks over a national unity government with Likud. The report claims the breakthrough brings the sides closer to signing a deal.
The report comes just a day after Blue and White MK Chili Tropper said in a TV interview that if a deal is not reached by Monday his party will push legislation that could block Likud’s Benjamin Netanyahu from running for prime minister again by establishing a two-term limit and preventing a premier from serving while under indictment.
“On Monday we will renew legislation – let each side make its own calculations,” Tropper said.
