Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz on Wednesday addressed his party's motion for a motion by MK Gideon Sa'ar to act for the future appointment of current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as President of the next state. "I hear the voices in the Likud that Netanyahu should be appointed president of the state. This is a legal bypass. This moral decay must be replaced," said Gantz, adding that "today we have a government coup and the hand is still slanted."

In the wake of next week's hearing in the High Court, which will deal with the imposition of the government on Netanyahu, this week, News 12 reported that a blue-and-white chairman told his associates that he was better off not interfering in the matter, among other things, in order not to impair public confidence in the court system. MK Gantz also addressed the question of Netanyahu's cabinet meeting during the current faction: "Whether a defendant can be charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust? The answer is clear - no. Not on the moral level, nor on the functional level. "Go to court and respect every decision."

Remembering this week, MK Ofer Shelah posted on Twitter that "the court will rule as good as he sees fit," adding, "but for me it would be far better if he did not disqualify Netanyahu for forming a government. A prime minister with this indictment is publicly disqualified, and we will not sit down with him. But it is better for the public to do so, and not the Supreme. "

Gantz explained that he aspires to form a government under his head and argued that any decision made by the legal system would be acceptable to him, though his position is that we are "at the time of the injuries". "We are in an emergency for Israeli society," said Gantz, adding that "our next Minister of Education may be Khanist, the Israeli prime minister wants to put himself above the law. It is not an hour of sacrifice or a murmur, nor an hour to expect miracles in the spirit of Chanukah. We all go out and do the right civil act. "

With 68 days left for the March 23 Knesset general election and with the Likud party primaries on Thursday, December 26, 2019, members of the Likud Center will vote on the identity of the chairman who will run in the upcoming Knesset elections on March 2 Prime Minister Netanyahu and MK Sa'ar are taking advantage of Chanukah days this week for meetings with activists and members of the Likud Center in preparation for the internal elections.

Meanwhile, the party's election committee confirmed this week that due to the wintry weather conditions expected this Thursday, the vote will be extended for another hour and will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., and the vote count will begin as soon as the polls close.
