Netanyahu ally says PM not sweating Gantz’s entry to politics
A political ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the ruling Likud party does not believe former IDF chief of staff Benny Gantz’s new party will unseat in April elections.
“We’re not worried about Benny Gantz. He’s not even on Netanyahu’s radar and according to the polls [Likud] gets double the seats he does,” Regional Cooperation Minister Tzachi Hanegbi tells Israel Radio.
Gantz earlier today registered a new party named Israel Resilience, formally marking his entry to politics.
