This morning, Tel Aviv chairman Moshe (Boogie) Ya’alon tweeted on Twitter, calling on his former party chairman, Blue and White, Benny Gantz, to reiterate: “It is clear that your naive intention to join an emergency government is meeting cynical fraud of a defendant who fled the defendants’ bench. . If you agree to his demands to consolidate his rule and become a ruler over the law, you will use the mission that united us. It’s not too late to regret the mistake of navigating. ”
Earlier yesterday, the Likud and White Blue announced in a joint interview a curfew, with the aim of furthering the negotiations for the establishment of a national emergency government. Meanwhile, the clashes between the parties continued to gain momentum when a white-blue party said: “If there is no agreement until tomorrow, it will mean that Netanyahu has abandoned the good of the people and given up a national emergency government with unity so necessary and will again drag Israel into elections at the most economically and healthiest time. “.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s close adviser, Nathan Eshel, responded to the president’s decision not to impose Netanyahu’s government: “This is unprecedented charlatanism. When Netanyahu failed to form a government, the president gave Gantz the opportunity and today bloc 59 does not get the opportunity. That there are not three years left that will be prevented? “
