Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz criticized Yamina leader Naftali Bennett, stating at the opening of his faction meeting that 'anyone who thinks they can put up a billboard calling on Likud voters to vote for them while disqualifying Likud – is hurting the chance to replace the worst government in Israel's history.' He added that 'those who compete for leadership of the bloc rather than what government will be formed here are not offering an alternative.'
