Liberman backs Gantz, hopes for emergency government

Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman recommends Blue and White head Benny Gantz for prime minister in a meeting with Reuven Rivlin.

He tells the president he backs a national emergency government, “because we are in an emergency.”

He says “the most sensible thing is a government of the two largest parties…. they will have at least a safety net of one party, Yisrael Beytenu, with seven seats. They can save all the sordid business of coalition building.”
