Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz on Wednesday rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's call for a televised confrontation, saying "this is a spin I will not take part in." In response, Gantz said, "Gantz is afraid of a confrontation and he knows why. Israel needs a strong leader and not a coward. Israel needs a strong right-wing government and not a government that relies on the joint list. If Gantz is afraid to confront the prime minister, how will he meet the great challenges of the State of Israel? In the first election about a year ago, Gantz invited Netanyahu to a television show, but the prime minister ignored the invitation.
Yesterday Netanyahu called on Gantz to come to the show. "I'm ready to come here or somewhere else. Benny Gantz Listen, I invite you to a television show," he said. "Come on. Choose someone, or you bring somebody and I somebody, do a television show, talk to the public. I don't have teleprometers, say the real things. What we did and what we do for the State of Israel. I invite you to a TV show, hello, and Selhan. Conflicts, as in the United States - one conflict on the political side, a conflict on the security side, a conflict on the economic side, three television conflicts. Only without headphones. OK? Without headphones. Gantz - stop fear, come to conflict. "

In response, a blue and white chairman attacked the prime minister. "What happened to Netanyahu? You are alarmed that there is a date for your confrontation with the prosecution witnesses, so you make a spin? On March 17, you go to court and the State of Israel must move forward. "A white-blue official said in response to a call for a confrontation:" A poor attempt to distract from the trial. Ten years that Netanyahu has refused any confrontation, suddenly the day he is scheduled for trial, he wants a confrontation. He will have a confrontation with the prosecutor at trial. "
