Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu pleads with his coalition partner Benny Gantz against calling early elections, hours after Blue and White supports a preliminary vote in the Knesset to dissolve and head to the ballot box.
“The people of Israel want unity, not elections. They want vaccines, not election broadcasts,” he says.
“We need to put politics aside, there’s enough time for politics [later],” adds Netanyahu.
“Benny Gantz needs to slam on the brakes” and not drag the country to elections, says Netanyahu.
