According to the survey, Netanyahu is much more likely to be prime minister than Gantz (43% to 16%), opposition leader Yair Lapid (46% to 22%) and Yamina’s leader, Naftali Bennett (39% to 24%).
Representatives of Likud of Netanyahu and Kakhol lavan of the Defense Minister, Gantz, met on Sunday night to discuss the budget crisis.
But Sunday’s reports that political tensions were also affecting the UAE’s standardization agreement.
The Israeli delegation to the United Arab Emirates before the signing of the standardization agreement will depart this week amid disagreements over its composition, Hebrew media reported on Sunday night.
“There is still no date for the departure of the delegation,” said a senior Israeli official cited by Walla.
Disagreements appear to be related to public credit. Netanyahu needs the delegation to be led by the National Security Council, which belongs to the prime minister’s office. Meanwhile, the Kakhol wash in Gantz needs the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lead it. Chancellor Gabi Ashkenazi is from Kakhol Lavan.
The company is expected to participate in the deal tuesday, Walla reported.
After the launch of direct phone calls between countries the previous Sunday, the next standardization steps to be discussed will be cross-country flights and mutual travel.
Netanyahu admitted Thursday that he had kept his main coalition partners in Kakhol lavan — in addition to foreign minister and Ashkenazi Defense Minister Gantz — outside the agreement to normalize beer between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, but he said he had.so at the request of the United States.
