Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday lambasted Blue & White Chairman Benny Gantz after he rejected his call to hold an election debate.
"Gantz is afraid to debate me and he knows why. Israel needs a strong leader and not a coward," Netanyahu said. "If Gantz is too afraid to debate the prime minister, then how will he withstand the colossal challenges the State of Israel faces? I call on Gantz once more: come debate me."
