After talks with Blue & White over the state’s budget fell apart, using Israel’s fourth election in two years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday night that he and his Likud party dominant electoral influence.
“This is a wrong decision on behalf of Blue & White, but if they win these elections, I promise you that we will win. With your help, the people of Israel, Likud will bring a great victory,” Netanyahu said, slowing down its success in getting millions of COVID-19 vaccines for Israel, recent normalization has hit Arab countries with a strong economy.

Blue & White chief executive lambasted Benny Gantz and accused him of walking back on previous agreements, advertising an internal conflict between the former IDF chief and his fellow Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn as the main reason for the breakdown of the talks.
“I did not want this election. Likud did not want this election. We have voted again and again against elections. Unfortunately, Benny Gantz returned to his agreements with us.”
“I think this happened as a result of an internal fight within his party. He withdrew because he kept letting Nissenkorn, against the agreement of the co. to promote a dictatorship of left – wing bureaucrats working against the will of the people.

As part of the compromise between the two parties, Netanyahu – who opposes three convictions on corruption charges – sought to suspend Nissenkorn’s powers.
The head of the veterans also said that the decision facing Israel in the upcoming election, which was scheduled to take place on March 23, was between “a government based on [opposition leader Yair] Lapid and left and right right government. “
Gantz responded to Netanyahu’s comments, saying there were more “more lies than words” and blamed the protagonist for inciting the election in an attempt to avoid his trial.
