Defense Minister Bnei Gantz revealed today (Friday) that he received an offer from the Likud yesterday regarding the connection of blue and white with the party, and said that the presenter "straight got hit in the nose."
The defense minister's remarks come after coalition officials attacked him on Tuesday, claiming that he, along with his party colleague MK Michael Bitton, "are in a campaign with a wink to the Likud and the ultra-Orthodox." People on both sides who allegedly want to use this story to strengthen their political status.
Netanyahu wants to strengthen his position in the Likud, other people in the coalition can tell that I am striving to work with Netanyahu and blame me if the government disintegrates.
It's a scoundrel and it's a prey.
"It's not true and it's not true, I have no contacts with the Likud and the rumors they tried to make, including one that also tried yesterday, got hit in the nose."
"Defense Netanyahu has made many contributions to the State of Israel in the past, but in recent years he has damaged statehood, endangered the rule of law and democracy and we will not join him," he continued.

Ganz also referred to the flagship parade that is expected to take place on Sunday, saying that "we may and may do in our capital any parade we want, will not threaten our sovereignty. The reality of Jerusalem is always sensitive, and I call for avoiding any provocation along the way. We have no intention of violating any status "A line on the Temple Mount, the police are there to prevent people from joining and creating deliberate friction."
He added: "Hamas will not threaten our sovereignty. Last year the organization decided to fire rockets at what started Operation Wall Guard, an operation he regrets happened, and I guess this time he will be wise enough to avoid it."
Referring to last week's "Dimensions for Education" law, the minister criticized the coalition, saying that despite its support for the law, he "is not sure they really worked to pass this law. I'm glad we passed the law, it was clear to me that it must pass that night for the benefit of soldiers." .
The minister also spoke of Bitton's announcement the day before yesterday, saying he did not intend to vote with the government - except in a no-confidence vote to overthrow it.
"He is fighting for the Knesset's place as a supervisor of the government. Michael has appeared on every possible communication channel and announced that he will vote with the government and will not vote no confidence. He does not intend to overthrow the government, neither he nor anyone with a white brush."
