Report: Gantz demands guarantees from Netanyahu he won’t break up coalition

Channel 12 news reports that one of Benny Gantz’s demands from Benjamin Netanyahu for a unity deal is that some form of legislation be put in place, ensuring that if Netanyahu dissolves the coalition ahead of its agreed end point, Gantz immediately becomes head of the interim government.
