On Tuesday, Benny Gantz will lead his Blue and White Party in a vote to disband the Knesset. His decision to leave the unity coalition his party formed with Likud last March after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to pass a budget. Gantz explained his motivations in a televised speech on Tuesday night, describing Netanyahu’s decision concerning the budget as “an economic terror attack. “I entered the government with a heavy heart but with a whole heart,” Gantz said. “Netanyahu promised unity; he said there wouldn’t be tricks and games. But he doesn’t fulfill his promises and the public ultimately pays,” he said. “Netanyahu didn’t lie to me; he lied to you. He didn’t dupe me. He duped the citizens of Israel.”
