The Likud party rejects National Unity leader Benny Gantz’s framework for renewing talks over the judicial overhaul.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s party blames Gantz for the failure of the last round of judicial negotiations, and dismisses his terms for resuming them under President Isaac Herzog’s auspices.
“We expected to hear a serious offer. Unfortunately we received another dictate. If Gantz seriously wants dialogue and compromise, he’s invited to the Prime Minister’s Office this evening,” the party says in a statement.
