Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu vows not to partner with National Unity leader Benny Gantz after the elections, accusing him of deliberately endangering soldiers during the 2014 Gaza War when he was IDF chief of staff.
Speaking to Army Radio, Netanyahu says, “Gantz is not a partner. full stop. Gantz is a leftist.”
Netanyahu implies that Gantz endangered soldiers’ lives in an incident in Operation Protective Edge when Gantz was army commander and Netanyahu was prime minister.
A furious Gantz responds to the interview, saying Netanyahu knew very well what the operational necessities were at the time.
“That liar Bibi is unable to utter a single true thing,” Gantz says. “Bibi endangers the State of Israel. The Israeli public is dealing with a liar.”
