Herzog says move not meant as nod to unity gov’t

Isaac Herzog says Livni’s giving up on rotation “shows how much our [Livni and Herzog’s] partnership is a winning move; the alliance today is stronger than ever.”

Herzog rejects Netanyahu’s accusation that the move stems from panic, saying that Livni, in the past, has already suggested forgoing the rotation deal.

Herzog dismisses talk that this move is meant as a nod to unity with the Likud — this was suggested by Lapid and Bennett speaking to Channel 2 — calling it “nonsense.”

He says. “I retain flexibility since we depend on the results.”

In a campaign first, Herzog called on Yesh Atid voters to “vote for the Zionist Union headed by Herzog,” omitting Livni’s name.
