Why did Balad change its mind about Benny Gantz?
[JPost] - Balad’s decision on Sunday to join its partners in the Joint List by endorsing Blue and White head Benny Gantz to form a coalition government came as a surprise to Arab Israelis, who appeared to be divided on the move.While many welcomed Joint List’s unanimous endorsement of Gantz, others expressed disappointment over Balad’s change of heart. After the election in September, Balad refused to join its allies in the Joint List by endorsing Gantz for the premiership. In recommending Gantz then, Joint List leaders told President Reuven Rivlin that "for us, the most important thing is to remove [Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu from power." Should've made Israeli "Anyone but Bibi" crowd stop and think. Alas, they can't think. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2020-03-16 |
