Likud recalls sexual misconduct claims against Gantz after call on PM to resign
Likud responds to Benny Gantz’s call on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign by referring to the Blue and White leader’s own legal woes, with people claiming he exposed himself in front of girls when he was a teenager.
“The presumption of innocence is assured for everyone, including Benny Gantz, and we hope he will clear his name as soon as possible in light of the grave allegations against him,” Netanyahu’s party says.
