Likud on Joint List backing Gantz: We can’t have a coalition with Arab parties that oppose Israel
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party reacts to the Joint List’s recommendation of Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz as its preferred candidate to form the next government.
“As we warned, the Arab parties that oppose Israel as a Jewish and democratic state and glorify terrorists recommended Gantz for prime minister,” Likud says in a statement.
“Likud will make every effort to establish a stable and strong government committed to maintaining Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. We can’t have a government that relies on Arab parties that oppose the State of Israel,” the ruling party adds.
