Shaked calls on Gantz to sit with Netanyahu and join coalition of her liking

Yamina chairwoman Ayelet Shaked calls on Blue and White head Benny Gantz to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is seeking to build a religious unity government under his leadership.

This despite the fact that Blue and White received the most seats in Tuesday’s election (33 as of the latest count), compared to Likud’s 31.

“The people have chosen the right, but not enough to form a government,” Shaked tells reporters.

“It is clear that we’ll have to form a unity government. I call on Benny Gantz to put the boycotts aside and meet with Netanyahu.”
