Report – Gantz turns down Netanyahu request to postpone swearing in ceremony

Blue and White Leader Benny Gantz has turned down a request from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to postpone the swearing-in ceremony of the national unity government until Sunday, Channel 12 reports.

According to the report, Netanyahu has not yet managed to reach agreements on ministerial appointments with just hours left until the swearing-in.

Netanyahu reportedly offers Gila Gamliel the position of minister of higher education, a new position that would split the Education Ministry, but the Likud MK is said to turn down the offer.
