A senior Likud official responded tonight (Monday) that if Blue and White supports the bill that a person whose grandson has been indicted will not be able to run for prime minister - the state will go to another election.

"We are not excited, even if the proposal goes ahead and a way is found to lower it later," the senior official said. He said, "It is not that they will take the State of Israel to the elections on something essential like a budget or a corona, but on a personal, personal background. It is not wise of them." The source added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not interested in going to another election and that he thinks that an election campaign at this time is a "disaster".

According to the bill of Yesh Atid-TLM, which will go to a vote on Wednesday, a person against whom an indictment has been filed will not be able to run for prime minister.

In an interview with News 12 tonight, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi (blue and white) referred to the bill, saying that his party would hold a discussion in which it would be decided how to vote on it: "We hear the members and we will make a decision, everyone will vote together." Ashkenazi also referred to the crisis in the government, saying that "if Netanyahu wants to abide by the agreement - there will be no elections. If you want, you can also function in the government in its current form. There is no country in the world that in such a difficult economic reality does not make a long-term plan."

• Netanyahu on Ganz Knesset: "It depends on him"

• Gantz: "To pass the budget deferral law within 24 hours"

The Likud is angry over the bill raised by Lapid: "The proposal comes after the Netanyahu-led Likud received more votes than any other party ever. This is how they try to trample on the will of the voter in North Korean and Iranian laws," the party's Twitter account read.

MK Tamar Zandberg (Meretz) called on Blue and White to "immediately enact a law that prohibits a criminal defendant from forming a government." Instead of treatment in Corona. This is unequivocal proof why a bribe defendant cannot be prime minister. I call on Blue and White to join an initiative that has a majority in the Knesset, and to enact a law that will not allow a criminal defendant to form a government after the next election. "
