Netanyahu and Gantz to give press statements at faction meetings

With the coalition hanging by a thread, both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud) and Defense Minister Benny Gantz (Blue and White) are to give statements to the media at the start of their factions’ meetings today, their offices say.

Much blame will likely be traded and earnest appeals for unity made, as Israel faces the prospect of a fourth election in a span of two years.
