PM said to weigh accepting Gantz demand to announce that he’ll forgo immunity

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly weighing Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz’s demand that he announce his willingness to forgo efforts to receive parliamentary immunity in the eight hours left before the midnight deadline to prevent the initiation of snap elections.

Gantz has suggested he would be willing to form a unity government with Netanyahu if the PM agrees to drop efforts to obtain immunity from prosecution in the three criminal cases against him.
