Gantz vows to form gov’t of ‘dignity, strength,’ touts military credentials
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGantz says he will form a government of “dignity, strength, that will act with responsibility and determination,” following elections on April 9, and points to his military career as his qualifications.
“For 38 years I was a soldier and commander,” he adds. “I can tell you security is achieved with deeds, not words.”
“In the hard Middle East around us, no one pities the weak, and only the strong survive.”
Turning to Iran and its allies, Gantz says Israel won’t tolerate threats against its sovereignty.
“The heads of the terror groups must know that Ahmed Jabari wasn’t the first and doesn’t have to be the last,” he says, referring to the former head of Hamas’ military wing who was killed in Gaza during Gantz’s tenure as IDF chief.
