Gabi Ashkenazi, Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz and Moshe Ya'alon. |
Hosen L'Yisrael chairman Benny Gantz and Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid have agreed to run on a joint ticket that will be called "Blue and White." The two would share the duties of Prime Minister, with Gantz serving for two and a half years, followed by Lapid. Some polls have been predicting that a joint Gantz-Lapid ticket could overtake Netanyahu's Likud Party, but Likud could then form a coalition with smaller, right-leaning parties to form a government, say experts.
Netanyahu's party lashed out at the union, saying, "The choice is clear: It's either a left-wing government headed by Lapid and Gantz and supported by a bloc of Arab parties, or a right-wing government headed by Netanyahu."
