Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz (Blue and White) and Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar (New Hope) announced on Sunday the formation of a new joint political list.
Sa’ar’s party will receive three out of the first seven places on the new faction’s list, and five out of the first 13 places on the list, according to Channel 12 News.
“This evening, we are laying down the foundation stone for establishing the next government. Masses of Israelis will have an address,” stated Gantz.
“On too many occasions, the edges and margins have dominated the tone, and the Israeli center has been left without a voice. For too many years, Benjamin Netanyahu has dragged the Likud and the state into eroding the state’s interest, and harming democratic principles,” he added.
