Disappointed with the center-left camp and thinks he can still be Prime Minister • Our correspondent accompanied Minister Ganz - and tried to understand why he is still unable to broadcast "Gevald"

"It is quite likely that I will be prime minister this coming November, and this is the scenario that Netanyahu is most afraid of," Defense Minister Bnei Gantz said in an interview with Israel This Week.

Supplement reporter Adi Rubinstein has been accompanying Gantz for the past week, in the final days of the campaign in which he is fighting for the life of a blue and white party. 

Ganz, who this week held a zoom meeting with friends from the Green Village, visited the Habima Theater for selfies with the actors, and stopped for random conversations with passers-by in his neighborhood of Rosh HaAyin, not broadcasting "Gevald" outwardly.

While walking among the anemones in the forest near his house, he clarifies: "There is no way I will sit down with Bibi again. The most important goal at the moment is to move him from his position already in the upcoming elections otherwise Israel will enter an endless loop of elections."

To the claim that he is not fighting for the votes like Netanyahu, he replies that "I do not have the drive of someone who wants to escape trial. Should I apologize for that?". 

Gantz even criticized the center-left camp: "We in the camp do not understand that it is possible to get dirty on the leader behind his back, but on the day of the order everyone stands behind him. I personally am much more valued among Likud voters than my voters. They appreciate someone who does not zigzag." 

He testifies that he was deeply hurt by Avi Nissenkorn's departure from Blue and White: "What he did to me proved that I did not study him. I fought for him to be Minister of Justice, and I expected a different attitude."
