National Unity party head Benny Gantz, disucssing the proposed legislation to cancel the reasonableness standard, said at the beginning of his faction's meeting that "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing the groundwork for the dismissal of the state comptroller." He added that "this is democratic bankruptcy. I called (President Isaac) Herzog to convene a meeting of me, (Yair)Lapid and (Benjamin) Netanyahu for today. As time passes, the political pressure on the prime minister will increase." (Moran Azulay)
