Likud minister: Gantz not really looking to be PM, just wants Netanyahu’s head
After Benny Gantz rejects Prime Minister Netanyahu’s proposal to form a government, a Likud minister says the Blue and White party leader’s aim is not really to be premier.
“Gantz doesn’t really want to be prime minister. All he wants is Netanyahu’s head,” Ofir Akunis is quoted saying by the Knesset Channel at a Sukkot event.
“It is becoming clearer that Gantz and his party want to liquidate the idea of unity and bring Israel into a third election campaign,” he adds.
