PM: I don't remember disparaging Gantz since unity gov't was formed

Speaking to reporters ahead of the Knesset’s vote to push off the deadline for passing the budget by 120 days, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells reporters that he “does not remember” making personal attacks against Defense Minister Benny Gantz “since the formation of the government.”

Netanyahu, whose associates have made regular attacks against their coalition partners in the Blue and White party along with its chairman, says the centrist alliance has “created a government within the government” that publicly criticizes Likud policies.

The premier says it is time to “join hands” and work together to address the challengers facing Israeli society.
