Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz spoke to reporters from the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community and said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is responsible for dividing the nation. 'Netahyahu is causing a rift in the country. I hope he stops it soon,' Gantz said. A Likud official responded by saying that Blue and White should stop attacking Netanyahu. 'The State of Israel needs a functioning government right now. The daily attacks by Blue and White against Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Likud are not helping. We call on them to stop forming a 'government within a government' and to unite behind a common goal for the sake of Israel's citizens.'
