Member of Knesset Benny Gantz revealed in an interview that he received a significant offer to join the Likud party's Knesset list in a highly prominent position. The offer reportedly surprised interviewer Roni Kuban. Gantz stated, "Very high, very secure, with potential that if I had looked at it only from a personal political angle, that's what I should have done." He explained his decision to refuse the offer, citing his own political path and desire for national unity. "I have a path. I am not looking for a solution for my political posterior. I want unity in the State of Israel," Gantz said.
When asked who from Likud made the offer, Gantz declined to specify, and when questioned if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was behind it, he evaded a direct answer, saying, "Never mind who. Very high." Gantz also addressed whether he had received offers from other political figures recently. He stated that Naftali Bennett, Gadi Eisenkot, and Avigdor Lieberman had not invited him to join them. Regarding Yair Lapid, Gantz confirmed they had spoken, but clarified it was "not at the level of 'join me.'"
The interview is scheduled to air on Saturday night on Kan 11's program "Meeting."
