Prime Minister Netanyahu was interviewed this morning (Sunday) on Network Radio 2, referring to the argument that Likud is responsible for "cooking" the tape of Gantz's senior adviser, Israel Bachar, who was fired last week after the recording was exposed, and also referred to incitement directed at him by Blue and White. "Absolute rubbish. He was fired for telling the truth in the rooms, this is an inside testimony. I am surprised they have not posted before," Netanyahu said on the Bachar issue, adding on the allegations made against him that "in Gantz's party I call 'Erdogan', they talk about Incitement? It's awful. I am not saying that he is Hitler, he has no personalities, but not Hitler. "

Later in the interview, the prime minister addressed the issue of assembling the government and efforts to reach 61 seats. "If I don't get 61 seats, there will be surprises - Capricorn Jibran is not the only one," Bachan said. In another interview from the Prime Minister this morning, to the "Morning News" of Keshet 12, Netanyahu claimed that he "sees that there is a great erosion, that is why we are rising, we are very close to 61, the erosion of white-blue people who do not want the Gantz government to depend on Ahmad Tibi doesn't want more choices either, so they come to us. Some of them have reservations about me, I'm not supposed to be the perfect person. "

Blue and White Party chairman MK Benny Gantz was also interviewed here this morning, referring to the issue of his former adviser Israel Bachar: "He was dragged and said serious things, but I have not dealt with before, I do not think he put me off." In his remarks, Gantz attacked Netanyahu on the grounds that he had chosen him for the post of chief of staff as a third option. What he is saying at the moment is intended to attack me and wear it. I am happy for 38 years of service - much more than what Netanyahu gave, "Gantz said in an interview.
