Israel's Arab parties recalculate as Gantz joins Netanyahu
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz' decision to join a government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has deeply disappointed the Arab public.
“These are not ordinary days and they require extraordinary decisions. Thus, as I have said, I intend to examine the formation of a national emergency government,” declared Blue and White leader Benny Gantz March 26 upon his election as speaker of the Knesset, with the support of the right/ultra-Orthodox bloc.
The move led to the breakup of Blue and White and paved the way for Gantz and his party, Hosen L’Israel or Israel Resilience, into a government headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Who remembers now that on the day after the general election Gantz declared, “I won’t serve in a government led by a man under indictment?”
