Defense Minister Benny Gantz said on Tuesday his party will vote in favor of an opposition-backed bill to dissolve the Knesset, which would come for a preliminary vote on Wednesday, as he continued to butt heads with coalition partner Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a statement to the press, Gantz said Netanyahu was the one who led to what would be Israel’s fourth election in two years. “Netanyahu has decided to dissolve the government and drag Israel into an election” by refusing to pass a two-year budget as laid out in the parties’ coalition agreement, Gantz stated.
