Netanyahu calls on Gantz to meet immediately and renew unity talks

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls on Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz to meet with him tonight and renew negotiations over a national unity government.

A statement from Netanyahu’s Likud party says the call is out of  “good will and national responsibility to set up a unity government as soon as possible.”

Blue and White has yet to respond to the call.

Channel 12’s political analyst says the statement has a “whiff of fourth elections,” adding that if Netanyhu requires a press statement to get Gantz to renew talks, then there is clearly no trust or open channels between the sides.
