(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Blue and White leader Benny Gantz on Thursday and offered him a new framework on matters of religion and state and other issues that could help bring about the formation of a national-unity government.
Netanyahu said there should be a wide unity government including Blue and White and parties that are the Likud’s right-wing and religious allies. As part of the new framework, United Torah Judaism and Shas would officially agree to sit with their nemesis, Blue and White’s No. 2, Yair Lapid.
But Blue and White leader Benny Gantz rejected Netanyahu’s invitation and declined to meet with him to discuss it. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
