The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, Blue and White Chairman Bnei Gantz, spoke tonight (Wednesday) with Ben Caspit and Aryeh Eldad on 103FM, and expressed his opinion on the results of the polls, in which his party shuffles around the blocking percentage, and demanded that he retire Random, and the effectiveness of such a move is low. In all our polls we are on the road to the Sixth Mandate, we feel stable and committed to continuing our effort. We know what will happen if we are not in the next Knesset, nothing will stop Netanyahu. If it is in his hands, he will not hesitate to fire me. “
Ganz also referred for the first time to the decision of the International Court of Justice in The Hague to open an investigation against Israel and Hamas for war crimes in the territories of Gaza, Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem: “This is a first-rate political legal paradox. The State of Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East. We protect the State of Israel and its security, unlike our enemies who trample on human rights. Precisely in this situation the court is working to interrogate us, I have never heard such a paradox. We will continue to protect the citizens of Israel as morally and legally as necessary. It is a politically tailored event. “
“We need to remember, we have very serious complementary investigative tools, they are at the level of investigations within the army, the military court, the civil courts. We are not a banana republic, there is a law here. It is precisely during these hours that the law stands by us. To help anyone who is needed in this story.Like I have never been afraid to cross a border for the State of Israel or fight for it, I will continue to do the same things for the State of Israel, I am determined to defend it, I have done it for four decades, I do it right now and I will continue to do it “The conflict between us and the Palestinians will be resolved only through negotiations in Jerusalem and Ramallah, and not in any court anywhere else in the world,” Ganz added.
Ganz also referred to the High Court’s decision to recognize Jews who have undergone a reform or conservative conversion process: “The situation in which for years they have refused to recognize conversion in the spirit of Beit Hillel and prevent any possibility of compromise, is an outrageous decision. To senior Likud members and other party members who are in a hurry to attack the court, I tell them not to do so. This issue has been neglected. “Netanyahu had a way of dealing with this for many, many years and he did not do it.”
On the extent of immunization to the corona and the decision to open the sky, Ganz said: “The corona epidemic also has economic and social consequences. In light of the broad scope of immunization, we see a decrease in morbidity and mortality.
Ganz also commented on dealing with the corona crisis, and on the decision to open the sky: “The corona plague has health consequences, but also economic and social aspects derived from it. Therefore, we have seen fit to move forward in other channels as well. Israel has been closed for a long time, and in the end Israel is a home, there are tens of thousands of Israelis stranded outside their homes, they have become refugees in the world. We need to look for the right model to bring them home “Tests, isolation and everything related to this issue. We must be constantly on the lookout for morbidity trends, and make decisions for the body.”
Benjamin Netanyahu (Photo: David Cohen, Flash 90)Gantz further criticized Netanyahu’s intention to transfer vaccines to Corona to other countries in the world: “If this were right, the prime minister would bring this issue up for discussion in the political-security cabinet, say we have a vaccine balance and have political interests, suggest what to do. They are not Netanyahu’s private property, and they are not traded as if they were private property. There is a state and a cabinet here, it can be decided in an orderly manner. The Attorney General’s decision to stop this process only reinforces what I am saying. Sell submarines to Egypt without talking to anyone, he gives consent to a arms deal in the Emirates without talking to anyone, he gives vaccines without talking to anyone – what is it? Presidential government where you and the National Security Adviser run the country? Or is there a country, with Government and Cabinet? “
