Defense Minister and Chairman of Blue and White Benny Gantz said today (Monday) that he has no intention of politically harming Prime Minister Yair Lapid. This, as part of an interview with Walla! which will be published in full at 20:00, in which he referred, among other things, to his and Lapid's mutual courtship of the army. To the former Gadi Eisenkot.

"I'm not looking to harm Lapid, I want Gadi as a partner in Blue and White. This seems to me to be an important goal in itself. As mentioned, we've known each other for decades. I know exactly what Gadi thinks about each of the worlds of security, political, economic and social content. It's impossible To put a piece of paper between us on this matter, and I think we are the appropriate framework. I very much hope that he will join politics and we will wait."

Gantz emphasized that he "does not split the bloc".

According to him, he "strengthens and expands the bloc. I am in the center and can also take votes from the right, not only those who voted for me - but also those who are willing to vote for me. I am the only one in the Knesset that no one really rejects him and thus I strengthen the camp."
