Regev: Gantz not ready to be prime minister
Likud’s Miri Regev, who is transportation minister, lashes out at Defense Minister Benny Gantz in a Yedioth Ahronoth interview that is set to be published tomorrow.
According to an excerpt, Regev says of Likud’s new coalition partner, who is alternate prime minister: “Gantz is not ready yet to be prime minister, he requires more time in the oven and to reveal to us whether he can be extorted by the Iranians.”
That’s a reference to Gantz’s cellphone, which was reportedly hacked last year by Iran.
Gantz is set to take over as prime minister from Netanyahu in 18 months under the coalition deal.
