Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is heading to elections, blaming Benny Gantz for the fourth national vote in two years.
“We worked very hard to avoid elections, unnecessary elections. We reached agreements with Blue and White. I thought they were promising, they were good agreements that could have averted these elections. Unfortunately, because of internal pressure inside the party, Benny Gantz decided to renege on [the agreement] and this is dragging the country to unnecessary elections at the height of the coronavirus crisis.”
He cites Gantz’s insistence that Avi Nissenkorn remain justice minister as a factor that led to the breakdown of talks.
