(Worthy News) – Blue and White will run Benny Gantz as the party’s sole candidate for prime minister if a third election is held, Gantz’s number two, MK Yair Lapid, announced at Monday’s faction meeting at the Knesset.
Gantz and Lapid made the decision last week and decided to announce it at the faction meeting. Gantz and Lapid ran as joint candidates for prime minister in the April and September elections.
“We still hope we can prevent elections,” Lapid told the faction. “If there are elections, we’ve decided that this time there won’t be a rotation agreement. We will go together, all of us, a large and united Blue and White behind Benny Gantz, our candidate for prime minister.” [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
