Likud denies TV report saying PM offered Gantz rotation deal for premiership

On the day the 21st Knesset was dissolved last month and Israel headed to new elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Blue and White leader Benny Gantz a rotation deal of the premiership, in a Hail Mary bid to build a majority coalition, the Kan public broadcaster reports, citing Blue and White party sources.

Gantz turned down the offer, Kan says.

The Likud party flatly denies the report as a “total lie.”
