Netanyahu wants Gantz to join his coalition, but without Lapid — Likud MK
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA loyalist of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Likud party is interested in having rival Benny Gantz in the next government, but without the Blue and White chief’s partner Yair Lapid and his Yesh Atid faction.
“We have no problem going with Gantz — without Yesh Atid,” Likud MK David Bitan tells Radio Darom in an interview, confirming an earlier report by the Kan public broadcaster that Netanyahu wants Gantz’s Israel Resilience faction since it is the most likely to agree to join a right-wing coalition.
