TV airs recording of Gantz adviser assailing him as a ‘threat’ to Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWith just days to go before the elections, Channel 12 news publishes a recording of a top political adviser to Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz assailing his boss.
In the recording, a man said to be Israel Bachar can be heard talking about Gantz with an unidentified acquaintance. The network said the recording is from several days ago.
Bachar: “She [Blue and White MK Omer Yankelevich] says he is stupid and a complete nobody and she says ‘he can’t be be prime minister.'”
He also says Gantz “doesn’t have the courage to attack Iran” and appears to warn the Blue and White leader would be “a threat to the Israeli nation” if he were prime minister.
Blue and White dismissed the report as “lies” from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party.
