Another departure: Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi Announced today (Wednesday) to the Minister of Defense and Blue and White Chairman Bnei Gantz Because he leaves the party, and does not continue in blue and white. “Blue and white posed a governmental alternative to Benjamin Netanyahu and we decided to influence from within out of consideration of national responsibility. This is how I acted all my life and this is how I will continue to act. Wherever there was a risk to the state or a risk to me, I chose to take the risk.”

He added: “It was the change of discourse from the annexation of the territories, which opened the window of opportunity for peace agreements and together we prevented any attempt at political and legal adventures. “At the Foreign Ministry as much as I can. I thanked my friend and traveling companion, Bnei Gantz, and wished him success in leading the party in the upcoming elections.”

Gantz responded: “I respect the decision of my colleague Foreign Minister Ashkenazi and thank him from the bottom of my heart for the partnership in the last two years for the state. Gabi and I have known each other for many years and I greatly appreciated him. Many are stopping the annexation program and promoting normalization in the region, and I am sure that it will contribute much more to the Israeli public. “

This is the second blow to blue and white in a day, since yesterday the Minister of Justice Avi Nissenkorn Announced his departure from the party. “We will bring news to hundreds of thousands of Israelis who feel they have no political home – and we will do so in deeds and not in words,” the minister said. Following this, Ganz spoke with Nissenkorn and asked him to submit his resignation as Minister of Justice.
