Following reports of the possibility that Defense Minister and alternative Prime Minister Benny Gantz will approve Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's request to introduce changes to the coalition agreement, in blue and white it is clear that no consent was given to them.

"First of all, Norwegian law will go up for vote and the terms of the agreement will be fulfilled," blue-white officials told "Israel Today." "If the Likud wants to open the coalition agreement, we can discuss it later."

"Israel Today" has learned that in blue and white, they are considering asking for amendments on their part in the agreement and therefore are not closing the door to Likud proposals for changes on their part.

• Fury in opposition to "Norwegian law"

• "Don't think Gantz wants to be prime minister"

• There is a change in the PM's law: the High Court's disqualification will lead to elections even after six months

Under existing law, the incumbent prime minister leading to the dissolution of the Knesset will be dismissed from office to be automatically transferred to the replacement prime minister for the transition government and the election campaign. Due to the fear that the High Court would reject the alternative prime minister's outline, Netanyahu demanded, within the coalition agreements, that during the first six months of the government's establishment, the Knesset could be dissolved without transferring power to Bnei Gantz.

During the meeting between Netanyahu and Gantz yesterday, the incumbent prime minister sought to introduce a change that does not appear in a coalition agreement whereby he could dissolve the Knesset to the extent of a High Court intervention even after six months, fearing that the High Court judges will not rule on the issue in the coming months and after the passage of time in law.
