Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid stated on Saturday that "war cabinet member Benny Gantz must not assist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in remaining in power and should leave the government immediately." Lapid urged Gantz to announce his resignation today from the "worst government." He emphasized that Gantz should declare that he is no longer willing to contribute to the abandonment of hostages, the neglect of the north, the destruction of the economy and the middle class. He should say that he will no longer help Netanyahu stay in power and that he is leaving the government immediately, calling for elections now.
