Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Bnei Gantz said tonight (Saturday) that in order to prevent elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must "only abide by the agreement" between the parties, and that his party is ready for any solution that will prevent a run-off election. "We are ready for any solution that will prevent elections. All that is needed is to simply return to the agreement," Ganz said in an interview with News 13.

During the interview, Ganz was asked whether he would agree to MK Zvika Hauser's initiative (Derech Eretz) to freeze the appointment of senior officials. Gantz responded in the affirmative: Hauser, who is promoting the law to postpone the approval of the budget, had earlier presented Netanyahu and Gantz a compromise proposal that essentially rejects the dispute over senior appointments for another hundred days.

According to the proposal, the law to postpone the approval of the budget by one hundred days will pass, and at the same time a joint committee of Blue and White and the Likud will be established to examine changing the method of senior appointments. This is a committee that was supposed to be set up according to the coalition agreement but the parties did not reach agreements on the structure and the required changes and it was never established.

According to Hauser's proposal, the committee will be set up immediately until the end of its term. And on the senior appointments - and the postponement of the dissolution of the Knesset at this time, but it does not preclude the possibility of elections at the end of the century.

Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi attacked the prime minister this evening and said that He said that there is a need for unity - he pledged in front of the public that he would say why they are going to the elections. " Why go to the polls? The budget? That's an excuse. No problem with the budget. He has personal reasons, he wants us to give him all kinds of protections against his trial. He wants to appoint the state attorney general - he did not give it to him. "

Ashkenazi said this in an interview with News 12, and continued the attack in a Twitter tweet:" I give Netanyahu a failed score on the compartmentalization of the defense minister and foreign minister. This is irresponsible behavior. He returned to the patterns of conduct as in the Mashaal affair, the Western Wall tunnels and the submarine affair, "the minister wrote.

The Likud responded that "Gabi Ashkenazi continues to be a tireless subversive. Until the last minute, Ashkenazi continues to make every effort to drag Israel to the elections to oust Gantz. the political echelon. "

At the end of the week there was a disconnect between the Likud and blue and white and there was no progress in the talks to resolve the crisis and preventing the election. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Prime Minister exchange Benny Gantz Although discussed on Thursday, but only briefly, and discussions between the parties did not continue after that.

tomorrow Committee The funds are due to discuss further promotion of the law to postpone the budget approval for another hundred days, but its final approval in the second and third readings depends on agreements between the Likud and Blue and White. If a solution is found by Monday, the coalition can postpone the budget transfer without compromising the election. Automatic on Monday at midnight.

The Likud says that they sent Blue and White a compromise offer on Monday, but Blue and White claims that no offer was sent to them and there is no compromise on the table. At the same time, over the weekend, the Likud intensified its attacks on senior Blue and White officials, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn, in an attempt to quarrel between them and Blue and White chairman Gantz and accuse them of responsibility for the election. The Likud's Nissenkorn accuses in a "secret deal" with Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, because of which he opposes changes in the method of senior appointments.

The main issue in dispute is the issue of senior appointments. In blue and white, they refuse to respond to the Likud's demand to change the method of appointing the ombudsman, the state attorney general, the police commissioner and dozens of other senior appointments. The Likud last week proposed setting up a public committee composed of public figures appointed by the two parties to replace or approve the professional locating committees, but in blue and white reject the proposal and oppose the politicization of the appointment procedures.

Nissenkorn is the one leading the hawkish line in blue and white in his opposition to the intervention of senior appointments in the Ministry of Justice, and therefore also stood at the heart of the Likud's attacks over the weekend. On the budget issue, the Likud agreed to pass a biennial budget, as agreed in the coalition agreement, but still demand that there be another vote on the budget during 2021 - this situation will allow Netanyahu to dissolve the Knesset before the rotation is transferred to Gantz at the end of next year.
