“We are in a position to find solutions. It only remains to return to the agreement. There is no explanation as to why take us to the elections, ”Gantz said.
Netanyahu’s Likud is leaning toward backing the bill by delaying the deadline, Channel 12 reported.
Additionally, Likud and Blue and White have reportedly agreed to focus on addressing the coronavirus and influenza pandemic during the winter, as well as potential security threats at the northern and southern borders.
Party officials continued to shoot others on Saturday night, and Blue and White Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi said: “Netanyahu has 48 hours to act in combination and determine whether smart public is his purpose or his non-public interests “.
The Likud responded by writing on Twitter: “Ashkenazi remains a tireless subversive. Until the last moment, Ashkenazi continues to do everything possible to lead Israel to the elections.
With the option of new elections looming, Meretz MK Tamar Zandberg on Saturday called on Blue and White to abandon Netanyahu and shape an elective government, saying there is a majority in the Knesset to do so.
“The center-left bloc has a majority [of] 61 in the existing Knesset. All she wants to do is get Blue and White to vote for the constructive challenge [vote] on Monday . . . and there is a government that will pass a budget and will be able to deal with citizens and with itself, no elections or racism, “she wrote On twitter.
Despite Zandberg’s claim, there did not appear to be a majority in the Knesset for the measure, as Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel and Blue and White’s Derech Eretz deputy Zvi Hauser would be required, in the past they ruled with the Arabs. majority party to form a government without Netanyahu.
Since the budget is considered highly unlikely given the time left to do it, the only realistic option is, despite everything, to approve an invoice to delay the budget deadline for a hundred days.
Such an invoice was approved in the first of its 3 plenary readings, however, Likud is making various demands for its final adoption.
Blue and White accused Netanyahu of intentionally seeking to violate the coalition agreement with his sudden call for a one-year budget to allow himself a long-term window to dissolve the government and have to hand over the prime minister post at Gantz in November 2021. . , as stipulated in the coalition agreement.
Netanyahu has reportedly called for adjustments to his party’s coalition agreement with Blue and White to protect his prestige as his criminal trial progresses, as well as to impose more force on the justice and law enforcement systems.
I would call for more force on senior appointments, adding the most sensible law enforcement officials, adding the next public prosecutor, in violation of previous agreements. Ashkenazi said on Saturday that Netanyahu is pushing for elections for his “personal and legal reasons,” similar to his judgment, implying that the prime minister hopes that another new Knesset can produce a majority of lawmakers in a position to back a law that could simply thwart legal proceedings. in the 3 transplantation instances that opposed him.
The best economists that adopting a budget that spans 2020 and 2021 makes the most sense, as a 2020 budget just a few months before the end of the year wouldn’t make much sense. Netanyahu says the uncertainty due to the pandemic makes planning so far in advance highly unlikely.
President Reuven Rivlin has held talks in recent days with leaders of the coalition parties in a bid to save him a new election, the president said Thursday.
