Liberman to Gantz: Netanyahu won’t sign a coalition deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman is pressing Blue and White leader Benny Gantz, who is also interim Knesset speaker, to advance a series of laws that would prevent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a government.
“Benny Gantz, this is your moment of truth. As someone who knows Netanyahu better than anyone, I asses that he won’t sign a coalition deal with you, not today and not tomorrow. Meanwhile, all he’s done is buy time.”
Liberman urges Gantz to advance bills that would disqualify candidates facing criminal charges from forming a coalition, effectively knocking Netanyahu out of the running, as well as legislation to annex the Jordan Valley.
Coalition talks between Gantz’s Blue and White and Netanyahu’s Likud are ongoing.
