It appears that now, after all his promises and declarations, Benny Gantz would rather be defense minister than chair the opposition.
A month is a long time in politics, and what was considered the next big thing last week can become just a flash in the pan overnight.
With just one short statement, Benny Gantz revealed that he intends to lead the center-left camp and have his party go head to head with Likud.
As chief strategist of the Likud party’s election campaign, PM Benjamin Netanyahu wants the indictment against him to be a nonstory, and for the voting public to believe that articles on a news site favorable to him do not constitute bribery.
Until they endorse him, Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to ‎paint the New Right’s leaders as actually being affiliated ‎with the left.
The big question is what target audience Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked are trying to reach.
