Likud minister: If Gantz fails to back budget we’ll seek 61 MKs without him

Regional Cooperation Minister Ofir Akunis warns that if the Blue and White party does not back a single-year budget as his party desires, Likud will seek to form an alternative government of 61 MKs without Benny Gantz’s party.

Akunis tells Army Radio: “Everyone will know who led Israel to a fourth election. The blame will be all on Gantz.”

Likud is seeking to change the previously agreed-upon two-year budget, contrary to the agreement between the parties.
