Burst against blue and white: "escape from responsibility"

"Instead of managing the agenda, they run away from responsibility and are dragged into it," attacked Blue-White, chairman of the Labor-Meretz-Meretz Bridge list, Amir Peretz on Saturday. Peretz said about the century plan, "Netanyahu is negotiating with Himself, blue and white are being dragged into this game. "

"Netanyahu attacks Abu Mazen on his words and contains Sinwar on his missiles. I prefer shooting words than firing missiles. Renewing the political process for peace with the PA based on the two-state vision for two peoples is the only way to keep Jewish and democratic Israel within safe borders. To conduct dialogue from a regional perspective to build our axis, with moderate Arab states facing the extreme Iran-led axis. "

Peretz expressed his remarks about blue and white, stating: "We will support Gantz as a replacement for Netanyahu, but to replace his policy, Labor-Bridge-Meretz should be great, otherwise we might get the Gantz government together with the Likud and Bennett."
